RE: Truck Sway
The truck does set level. with the trailer the rear end sags about 1 1/2". The wheels 17"X9" were changed to accomodate the tires. I think I may put the stock tires back on with the lift to see what happens. They are 10 ply. My truck doesn't surge forward while passing trucks it actually feels like the rear end is shifting or being pushed side to side. Makes me feel like a snale down the road. Or I have been looking at an 09' F-350 Powerstroke maybe thats the answer :)
RE: Truck Sway
The truck handles great by itself and even towing smaller utility trailers. I guess I need to try and figure out my tongue weight and go from there. The lift I purchased is of top quality and did not alter the truck geometry. The steering arm was lenghtened to eliminate any issues there also. My weight dist. hitch is made by EAZ along with the sway bars I installed. I did install 2.
Truck Sway
Ok guys I'm sure you have heard this a million times but I'm new to the larger trailer scene and am concerned. First off my problem is that when I'm towing my trailer (2008 Keystone 30' TT) my truck feels like its all over the road. My truck is an 06' Dodge 2500 4X4 Quad Cab long bed with a Cummins. It has a 4" lift and the tires are BFG 35X12.5X17. I have tried distributing the weight according to articles I have read. I just installed sway bars on the trailer. I upped the tire pressure in my truck 5 lbs. over recommended and I still feel like a snake going by a big semi on the interstate. I have contacted several people as in the folks who installed my lift and they blame the tires. I talked to the folks I just bought the tires from and they said to up the pressure 10lbs. over recommended. I just replaced these tires from a mud terrain tire for the same swaying reason. I am lost. Do you guys think my side walls on the tires are buckling??
