A bouncy ride while towing is almost always a rear end that's too light. If the truck is level and the trailer is level BUT you have to be really aggressive on the bars to get it that way, then you'll need to properly adjust the hitch head pitch. Pitch it so you can get the same leveling effect without too much tension on the bars. This can take quite a few tries to get right. I'll stick to my regular Reese set up...too many problems getting those Equilzers set up right from my understanding.

Thank you that makes sense. I have not had time to play w/ the setup since last weekend.
I do have a question. I am not sure that I know what you mean by pitching the hitch head.
The only way to add a tilt to it is by adding washers. The max washers you can add is 8. I am there already.
Was that what you meant by pitching the hitch head?

I'd be lying if I told you I knew about the Equilizer set up but most WD hitches have an adjustable height as well as an adjustable tilt on the head. I believe yours is also tilt adjustable but, and this is another reason I dont care for the Equilizer from what I can see, you have to add or remove silly washers to adjust it. In your case, you'd want to add washer(s) to tilt the head toward the trailer. Done properly, you should be able to level the truck and trailer with a little less force on the bars, putting more weight on the rear wheels of the truck.
