To the OP if you want to get ahead of the problem when you buy your 5th wheel get it with shocks and Mor/Ryde RE equalizer from the dealer. If the trailer doesn't have something like that make it part of the deal.

No. I do not agree with masking the problem. However, I do agree with others in that it is very important to find the real cause for the chucking. There is a problem somewhere, and you should find it. If you install an air hitch or TrailAir hitch. You may be masking the problem, but not solving the problem.
As I said on a previous post I had a real problem with chucking on my 5th wheel, and found out (after extensive searching) that the hitch (Reese 20K) was a little loose. Not that you could find it, but it was there. Reese put on a new hitch and my problem was solved. THEN I put on a better pin on the 5th wheel to really make the ride smooth (TrailAir).
You may have a hitch problem
