Experiencing Trailer Sway While Using EAZ Lift Weight Distribution System

Question:

I have a 18 Tundra with a 6 inch I have 295/65/20 E rated tires with 50 psi in the rear. I have also got an down hitch. My camper weighs 4700 and the total length is 23.8 feet from tongue to the rear of the camper. My truck sways some. Like the front moves around and sways. Do I need to a link down or move up a link? Also do I need to the hitch maybe a bolt hole?? Any help would work. Thanks Also my truck sets level and my camper is loaded

If your trailer is being towed so it's level and the fender height is equal or nearly so at the front and back wheels of of your Tundra, it sounds as if your system is set up correctly, assuming that the fully loaded weight of the trailer doesn't exceed the rating of the system you're using. Be sure that the weight of any cargo carried in the truck bed behind the rear axle is included in that tongue weight figure.

From the photo you provided, it looks as if you're not using a sway control unit, though the weight distribution head and trailer frame has the smaller trailer balls to accept an anti sway unit like # 17200. If you're not currently using a friction anti sway unit, I'd consider doing so as it would help.

If you'd care to reply with the fully loaded and ready to tow weight of your trailer and the rating of the system you're using, I'd be happy to provide additional suggestions.
