Sway control help please

[jtesta1]

I was talked into purchasing one of those new fangled WDH with the built in sway control. one trip to Florida and I was back with my good old husky WDH with twin sway bars. 66 mph all day no sway even passing by big rigs are no problem . newer isn't always better. find what your comfortable with and stick with it.

1. Check all tire pressure, make sure they are correct.
2. Scale TV and TV/TT with WDH activated.
3. Make sure weights do not exceed GVR, GAWR Front and rear.
4. Make sure tongue weight 10-15% of trailer weight.
5. Make sure WDH bars are correct for the load.
6. Increase or decrease bars tension, to transfer more or less load to front axle, then test tow.

If it doesn't get better, then I would consider a different make/model WDH

You are joking of course. Everyone here knows once that popup camper hits your hitch receiver a 1 ton dually is required.

Hello, I am checking on all the suggestions that were made to me. I do have E rated light truck tires but I'm sure they are not near maximum inflation. The max inflation is 80psi. Should I have them at 80psi when pulling my TT?

Yes! I run 65 front 80 rear all the time on my F250. Dropping the pressure does nothing noticeable to the ride.

And.. per my 2016 FR TT manual, there is a chart showing tire load limit vs. tire pressure. Basically, load limits are lower at lower tire pressures. Once I finally hit the road, I will be paying close attention to cold tire pressures. I do not want to be "one of the guys" pulling a TT that had a blow out on the road.

We have a 30ft Rockwood. 2608ws bumper pull tv is 2013. 2500 Ram 4x4 mega cab use wd with added friction type sway bars. Have no sway problems at all. Friction sway bars worth the money. No white knuckle driving for us.

Make sure your rims are rated for that high pressure first.

I again wanted to thank everyone for their help and suggestions. I have another question. I have not done any measurements and I have read the manual on the E2 WDH but I'm not sure what adding or removing washers do to help equalize the weight on my TT. I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, that if you add more washers that when you set your round bars onto the L hangers that more weight is being transferred to the tongue of the TT. Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
