Yeah, I read that. My question is what's the rated capacity of the equalizer bars he has, not the hitch. Too light and you can't get enough lift.

 

You lost me, with that hitch they should be 1000lb bars at the max setting.

 

I've towed quite a bit as well. And while I have the '08 with leafs, the airbags are freakin awesome!
Practically zero *** end bounce going over bumps. Truck handles like a dream around corners and doesn't have excessive roll.
On take offs, the truck lifts up evenly rather than sagging down in the back and lifting the nose to the sky.

Forgetting about *** end sag and it's downfalls, those 3 reasons above are well worth airbags alone!

OP;
swaying from the back end side-side is not a good thing and is not something airbags can stop or prevent. The root cause of this is improper loading/weight distribution on the towing axle.(too much tongue weight)
The most airbags can do is lift the tongue up high enough where the weight gets transferred more to the center. It's a bandaid fix and requires changing load around on trailer or using a weight distro hitch..Preferrably both!

 

That's what I'm trying to find out - what bars are being used? 800s, 1000s, 1200s? Perhaps what he is using are too light.

 

Can't relate to that. Never experienced any of that with any of my setups.

 

He said it is a 1000/10000 - that means 1000lb bars

600lbs bars would be a 600/10000
1200 would be a 1200/10000

and so on.

LOL I'm just wanting clarification. He said the hitch is 1000/10000. The hitch is the part bolted to the truck. The bars don't have a towing capacity - they just provide lift. If he meant the bars fine but that's not how I'm reading it.

My apologies to capsfloyd.
