Yes I think my hitch is inadequate for the tongue weight. I think I have the same problem that you found NHBulldog. I am going to weigh the tongue next.
The hitch I have is much easier to set up than the ones with washers. I have had the hitch with max pitch. (Hole 6) I assembled the bars and I am back to the original squat without the bars. There are 2 40lb LP tanks and 2 batteries on the tongue. So I am guessing that I am over 1,000 lbs tongue. I don't have a bed cover so I don't leave anymore that 4 level blocks back there. My hitch is a Curt Mfg. #17500. It is good for 1000lb tongue/ 10,000lb trailer GVWR.
