I have a 99 Nomad in the toyhauler, which weighes at 825lbs and a few other things in the back. I would say a total of 900 to 950lbs. Toyhauler has a capasity of carrying 2000lbs. It seems like there is to much tough weight. It makes the truck squat down in back. My concern is. When 18 wheeler pass me up. We sway bad. Sway bar as tight as I can put it. The wife and I hate the ride, it's scary, and no relaxing. It is stressful to tell you the true. My ? If I put more weight in toy hauler would this improve my ride? Thanks in advance on your advice.

Have you had the rig across scales? Even though it looks tongue heavy, it may not be. Sounds like you need to dial in the weight bars and maybe add weight to the front of TT. Our FW tank is there and I keep it full. It took me all of last summer and 3 trips to the scales to get mine right. I use dual friction and after all the adjustments everything fells 95% good to me. Only 95% because I know with friction sway there could still be an issue. My wife and I have decided to upgrade to a ProPride Hitch. They are costly, but when compared to the safety of the family and cost in the rig.....the cost is cheap! Even with a Hensley Arrow or Propride set up must still be correct. Im sure you will get many more suggestions here that will get you dialed in. Good Luck
