Hello
I have an issue with a little trailer sway that I don’t like. My weight distribution hitch is a husky with torsion bars. This was my first tow with the truck, Ram 1500, crew cab, 5.7, short bed, 4x4, and at about 60 mph the trailer starts to sway a bit not much but more than I would like. I don’t know if it’s the coil springs on the truck or improper WDH set up. To me it looks like the trailer may be not level and tips to the back very slightly. When I hook up the trailer the truck bed drops about 2 inches and the front stays the same. The problem there is no more adjustment in the WDH. A new shank with more holes is need I think. If I where to get a new shank I would also like to get a longer one so my tail gate would open with the trailer attached. Any advice would be appreciated. Dennis2
