I am sorry, I meant the the load bars on my WD hitch

I just brought them up (tightened) them by a link or 2. Didnt mess with my sway bars

 

That was a very good write-up about your towing experience and good break-in for your engine. I'm a firm believer in breaking an engine in the way you plan to run it. I've never pulled anything with my '06 Hemi Ram, but I did pull a double axle trailer with a small tractor on it behind my '05 4.7L Ram, and it did fine for in-town towing.

One thing after your long tow, is that you might want to change your trans fluid. I'm sure it took a beating with the trailer tow up the mountains. Other than that...congrats on your successful trip.

 

Saw a 3rd Gen Ram QC pulling the same model toyhauler yesterday - with the same degree of squat. Driving alongside, the Load-Distributing Hitch looked different (but he was using one).
So, it doesn't seem that this Squat Under Load issue is much different / worse on the new 09's. (Nothing that a set of Air Bags won't help out...)

 

I have a 26ft toy hauler and what you wrote about is spot on with what I get as well. We have a crossfire by crosswinds and 3 atv's in the back behind both axles. One thing I did change was tires and rims, the stock tires are ok but I felt the rear a little wiggly. I have new set rims plus tires which are wider and it feels alot better now to me anyways, there is alot of wind here in Oklahoma so... anything helps.

 

Fantastic write up.
