Default Bounce, road and tires

Dave, I generally run at 65 psi (see my previous post above). I know the road is always a factor; and certainly overpressured tires!

I am trying to determine if using the WDH with its stiff linkage between trailer and truck is aggravating the situation. All WDH setups work on the same principle so the brand itself is not the issue. One can over or under transfer the tongue weight, and hence my comments previously about trying to get right in the sweet spot of the BlueOx lashup.

Right now I am either going to leave the heavy beast home (40% probability if I find some evidence from others that WDH's do in fact aggravate this issue) or drop the stiffness down one chain link and see what happens (60% likely as the search hits are not producing much verifiable info).

Thanks for your input. Larry
