Members,
I recently upgraded my toy hauler to a 32ft WW bumper pull. I have an 06 dodge 2500 4x4 Laramie 5.9l w/ an intake and brake controller. It carries a 6 inch lift on 35" tires.
I have a 15k ib hitch w/ weight distribution bars and an old single sway bar (didn't seem effective at all). The hitch is notched to the lowest setting due to the lift.
Last week I took this pig out for the first time. It was full of all fluids and toys. Traveled from Phx to the dunes. Tire pressure maxed on the trailer and truck and everything was level. Wholly crap! I was all over the highway and scared to death at anything above 53mph or if a semi went by. I was passed all day long by other rigs exactly like mine. Any tips on straightening this thing out. I should be able to breeze at 65-70 like everyone else. Need the help STAT. Thank you

I have a 5" lift and 35" tires and pull my bumper pull toy hauler without any issue. It took me several trips before I found the right combination. Air bags in the rear and finding the right pressure along with getting the height and chains correct on the WD hitch fixed my problems.
The only "toys" I haul are kayaks usually so my tongue weight is high.
I typically cruise at 65mph at about 1700 rpms
My tires are E rated and I air them to the max pressure of 65psi.

I would definitely fix this. Install the biggest rear bar you can find, and use solid or rubber links. BUT.... make sure you also install a matching front bar, or you'll create massive oversteer, especially when not towing.
