Towing after Timbren Install

I recently upgraded my TT from an 18' to a 26'. I was having some control issues towing even after adjusting my weight distribution hitch. I then installed a set of Timbren SES. I am still having issues and I am wondering if my hitch ball needs to be lowered now after installing the Timbrens. I had our friends take a video of us from behind towing. The video showed that I am not swaying nearly as much as I feel like I am. Here is the best picture I can get of my rig on a flat surface. I look forward to any constructive input.

  • Just a follow up... I lowered my ball a notch and noticed a vast improvement in towing. Bow wave impact is greatly reduced from vehicles overtaking me in the passing lane and I no longer feel like even slight winds are blowing me off the road. On the return trip from our weekend camping trip I felt like I was pulling my 18 footer again!

    Thanks again.
