sweet, thanks. So anyhow, I went out all prepared to unbolt the head and readjust it all. Turns out everything is dead on. Apparently the bars do need to have a slight upward bend in them. The instructions say to have at least 5 links between bar and tip up. There are dimensions to follow based on the type of socket and frame, and everything lined up perfectly. The truck and trailer are dead level now, I just didn't have enough spring tension, and that is probably why the sway was so apparent. I expected sway with how strng the winds were, but not as much as I had, so hoping that next time out in heavy winds the sway wont be so bad.
Now that I look at the picture I can see the front end is up too much, not enough transfer.
Everything that needed repair on the trailer has been taken care of. Just needed some new screws for the dinette seat back, which I understand is a common issue, and there were two fender supports that were loose. The only thing I haven't figured out is where to put a toilet paper holder. I dont want to put any screws into the walls as I dont know what is in them or what they are made of.
So now to get back to the scales and weigh it once more to verify TW and transfer. I also verified GCVW falls under max, which it does.
