Had that problem usually when hitting the joints coming up on and leaving bridges. And other uneven spots in the road. BOB would rear his ugly butt and the rear of truck would porpoise 2-4 times depending on the severity of the bump. I fixed the problem with Rancho Adjustable Shocks on the rear. Now, I get one smaller dip and no more BOB. I set the shocks to 7 for towing and 3 for every day driving. Works for me.
Using Equal‑i‑zer hitch.
YMMV

That basically just confirms my suspicion, we have to much "spring" when using both stock coils and a trunion bar setup, removing the bounce from either the truck or the WDH should give a much better towing experience closer to other half tons which don't ride as well as ours unloaded.
