My truck bumper is high so when pulling my trailer it feels like the trailer is lunging up and down, Making a unsmooth pull/ I have a 2007 Big Horn 5.9 turbo diesel 2500. The trailer is a 2006 Puma 28ft. Reg. hitch with it in the lowest drop it will go. If I use the weight dist. it is worse, cause it raises the trailer more. any help please.

Yep. I've used ETrailer.com for several years and have been very pleased with price, shipping speed, and customer service. They have a nice selection of weight distribution drop shank bars. I had to buy one last fall for my new truck and the information on their page was great for making the right selection.

Even though it has already been said, MORE of a drop hitch. You don't need a new receiver, just the hitch.

Sounds like you need a shank with a longer drop. I had to do the same when I bought a new wdh.
