I have a '18 6.7L 3500 8'bed that I pull a 28' travel trailer with. I recently installed these torklift stable loads and wondering if anybody had any other experience with them. So far so good with activating the overload springs sooner. Eliminates the porposing.

If your thinking of "The tail wagging the dog", that's usually when the trailer tongue is light and will sway moving the truck around.
Porpoising is the front to back rocking of the truck and trailer. It's usually from not having a WDH adjusted correctly or too soft of suspension for the fiver pin weight.

I've always heard this as "chucking", an oscillation between the trailer and tow vehicle.

It means the trailer is to heavy for your suspension set up. My 1500 did that when towing my boat. Added airbags to the rear of the truck and the problem went away. Airbags or a WDH are the way to fix this. Or you could upgrade to the 3500 duelly. That would certainly take care of the problem!
