Well, first of all, the trailer obviously bounces since every thing is falling off the very deep bridle hooks. The truck also seems to bounce up and down when going down ordinary roads and freeways, once I hit some kind of dip or bump. I think I will try weighting the bed of the truck, just have to find something to do it with, as an experiment. Also due to take the rig to a guy who did the hitch and who is going to do some finish work on the trailer. I'll talk to him about this.
My horse is telling me that this trailer disturbs her. She's been loading and trailer good for 5 years now, I know she has good reason to be acting this way. Anyone else experience this?

Hmmm...that's interesting. I have a '94 Chevy diesel, 3/4 ton, extended cab, setup exactly the same way and it's the softest riding truck I have ever owned. One reason I have kept it so long. Way back, I had a Ford that behaved strangely in the rear, kinda funny bounce. After fooling around checking shocks, springs, looking for whatever, I found out one of the rear tires was defective...not round. Might want to take it back to the dealer and ask. A good hitch place would also be another choice. You might also consider loading down the back of the truck with blocks, water, whatever just to SEE if that makes a difference. That truck should have a huge weight carrying capacity. I assume it doesn't "bounce" without the trailer? Short bed or long bed? I assume you're talking about a rough road bounce? Doesn't bounce on smooth pavement? What "exactly" is bouncing? The back of the truck or the trailer wheels?
