How did it pull with the pro pride, I installed the Hensley today but haven’t got to pull with it yet.

Well I don’t have a frame of reference with other hitches but I pulled it for an hour on I-20 from Ft worth to Dallas it was kind of windy. Felt the wind a little but absolutely no sway at all of course. It was a little bouncy but ProPride told to raise the jacks in 1/2 inch increments until I like the ride.

Just a load of sand. Not on par with most of the other posts here. Mostly I just like posting pictures of the Ranger. :) Damn that thing is pretty.

Noticed a lot of big RVs or heavy dual axle trailers on this thread lately. For all you folks pulling big loads, are you finding the rear too bouncy? I did see that in one post and complained about it myself several months ago. Been trying to figure out if its my trailer setup or a common experience.

I have not been experiencing any bouncy issues. The bouncing could be related to your weight distribution, make sure to follow your manual step by step.

The only excessive bouncing I see is when the waves in the road (usually on concrete as opposed to asphalt) match the distance between the axles of the truck and trailer. So it creates a sort of natural frequency affect, which is not dangerous with the size of my trailer but can be quite annoying and hard to get out of.
