first time using my gooseneck hitch. Tandem duals on a dump trailer that I later filled with a lot of wood.

Don't have a pic to post but I do have a question. I'm pulling my 35' pull behind avion fleetwood(@10k lbs empty) with my 01 250 cc/sb. I have weight distribution and 1 anti sway bar. Just put new tires on and hauled bout 60 miles today. I've got overload springs and the truck and trailer is level. But had to stay around 58 mph or it would fishtale all over the road. The tires are new and noticed before I pulled they were slick feeling and figured I would have a lil trouble but do you guys think I need 2 antisway bars? Would appreciate some input cause I'm fixin to head across country to Cali. Thanks

Check the air pressure in your tires. But your big problem is a 10k 35' bumper pull and a ccsb that's a lot of tail and not much dog. Have you pulled this trailer before?

May need to put more weight on the bumper, realizing that you said "empty", which I assume you mean dry weight.

Yes I have. The last time I put new tires it was really bad. The hitch needed dropped down so I fixed that and the last time I pulled it was 2 months ago from Lafayette IN back to NC. I did pretty good. I could cruise around 70 with little issues. Just wondering if 2 sway bars would help. Thinking I'll get at least a new one from Reese anyways and see if it helps.

Dirtclod · Jun 30, 2016

I'll try letting up on the weight chains and see if it helps.

Good chance it's the new tires. I got some new tires on and the rear of the truck had a good amount of sway. Now that they're worn in a bit it sticks around corners again. If you're setup in the hitch is the same this time as it was last time with no issues and the only variable was the tires...

Dirtclod · Jun 30, 2016

I've put on new shocks and a new steering stabilizer since the last tow. I've read where if the trailer is over 28' or outweighs the truck 2 antisway bars are recommended. I'll post a pic of my setup tomorrow and see if someone sees something that needs changing.

After reading about the friction anti sway bars I've saw where you're not supposed to back up until you release them. It's way too late for that. After I bought my trailer I went to the Rv dealer in Augusta GA and the guy showed me how to adjust the weight distribution but didn't tell me about not backing up with the sway bar. Neither did the guy I bought it from. I guess I should've done my own research so all in all its my fault. The Rv place down the road says they sale 2 different ones. No weight rating on these but one is 60$ the other is 200$. Wonder what's the difference?
