Re: [A/S] Weight distribution bar adjustments
Did anybody have any
success with changing the tension on the weight distribution bars to
help reduce the bounce?
Oh, I really hope so. Let me know.

This "bounce" seems to be a function of the distance between your axles. I
pulled across I-20 a couple of years ago with an extended cab, short box GMC
pickup and my 28 ft. Airstream. The bounce was so bad that I reduced my
speed to way under the speed limit to reduce the bounce. I was over this same
stretch earlier this year with my new tow rig, GMC extended cab, long box, and
bounce was not a problem. The extra 18 inches or so on the wheelbase seemed
to address the problem.
