[tcsorenson]

Looks like we just had front shocks put on so its going in Tuesday morning for back shocks let's hope this takes care of the problem!

Let us know how new shocks go. FastwayTrailer.com a division of Progress MFG for decent adjustment instructions for an E2 hitch. Sometimes photos are deceptive, but it still looks like the verticle link bars and attached L bar are not "square" with frame. Fairly easy adjustment if they are not.

My L brackets are not perfectly square to the frame. I set mine up so the spring bar and L sit flush to each other for 100% contact

shocks on the truck were REALLY bad replaced those and that took alot of the bounce away, still is a bit bouncy but maybe that's normal

Only one way to go. Pro Pride wdh. Expensive but worth every dime. Look it up on internet.

Saw your propride post. I am looking at the Hensley and would like some more info

[Big earl]

Have you looked at pro prides website? I searched for a few months before making my decision. After reading the reviews and watching the videos I went with pro pride. It does everything it says

I went with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch with 4-Point Sway and added rear air bags w/on board compressor. I can adjust the air pressure per the load weight I'm towing. Works like a charm.

Received several msg from Hensley and seen a pro pride person posting on here. They are similar,I understand, are there any dif fbesides price? The H is intro a new(cheaper) arrow, and a lower price for the old style.
Seen post that PP is different for each TV. Do they both eliminate sway?

Have a 2014 28'(3 slide) rear kitchen Solaire 247(5900# dry). TV 2014 tundra 5.7 crew max/ 5.5'bed.A new reese w/sway-800# rated. It pulls, stops fine until certain trucks(cant predict which) or a sudden gust cross-wind causes loss of control up to a couple of seconds=that's 2(two) too many for this cowboy! Pulls/controls easily @ 60+ mph until either incident occurs-both at the same time results in the above mentioned situations.

I have a Propride 3P. TV is a 2013 F150 SCrew, Ecoboost, 4x4. TT is a 2015 Puma 31-RDKS, 34.5' long, dry weight (yellow sticker) 7952. Fully loaded we are probably just over 9K. We picked the camper up from RVW in Lakeview, OH, and pulled it over 1000 miles on the trip home. The hitch worked beautifully. The Propride has an adjustable hitch head and will work with most stock height pickups. The Hensley hitch head is NOT height adjustable.

Call Sean at ProPride and he can explain the difference between his product and the Hensley. I have the ProPride and could not be happier. No sway period. Easy to hitch and unhitch. Talk to Sean about the price difference you may be surprised of his answer. Always remember that you have an expensive tow vehicle and now a costly trailer, why be cheap on what connects them together.

As an owner of a 4Runner be cautious of the weight on the vehicle. The dry weight should be added to the estimated items inside the camper ( most use 1000 lbs) the add propane weight (80 lbs) then occupants in the tow vehicle. Not sure of the max weight on the Tundra but just passing some info along.

Happy Travels

Just wanted to update everyone that we did pull our camper to Tn from Iowa on vacation with NO problems, NO sway and NO bouncing!! Our problems are taken care of and we had an awesome 10 day vacation

Thanks for everyone's help! Don't know what I'd do without this group!!
