How to Prevent Sway When Towing a 35ft Travel Trailer
Question:
I believe I am slightly over tongue weight. I have researched air lifts to strengthen the rear suspension. Do you have experience with those? I don't remember if ETrailer offers them or something similar

I looked in our system and i see you have a ordered previously the 1500lbs bars.
If the system is setup correctly, and is not damaged or worn then something else is wrong.
You may need to check the tongue and trailer weights again and make sure you are not
overloading it. Also you need to make sure you are not over the capacity of your truck,
depending on how the truck is equipped, it may be. Are the trailer weights that were
provided with the trailer loaded?
Most 2015 F150 Lariat, 2WD, 3.5L Ecoboost, has a tounge weight of up to 1500lbs and a gross towing capacity of up to 11,700lbs. Please confirm with your owners manual.
