TT
Front = 23 3/8
Rear = 24 3/8

I still get a bounce. Jayco dealer in town is going to let me try a different hitch just to see if it has anything to do with the hitch. If not I was looking into purchasing Roadmaster Active Suspension sytem, or buy a bigger truck.

That's as good a set of numbers I could imagine.
If you put more tension on bars, I think you would be too low on front TV measurements.
Not sure what else you can do.
That's about where I am on my optimized setup. I am about back to same measurement on front of TV and squat down about 1" in rear.

Thanks for the followup and keep us posted on what you learn.

Looks like your are good on your fender measurements. The front is the one that is important.

It won't matter what hitch you get, you will have bounce. I pull my 28BHBE, first with a Tundra last year and now with a Ram 2500 crew cab long bed. I got bounce with the Tundra and still get bounce with the Ram. It is just the nature of the beast towing a 34'+ camper off the rear bumper of pretty much any truck. I think with a 1 ton dually, you would still get some bounce. That is a lot of leverage at the hitch.

So, I installed a set of Roadmaster Active Suspension. These things were a life saver. The bounce is almost all gone now. Every once in awhile I can feel it, but nothing like it was before. I thought I would update my situation. Thanks for all the help from everyone.

Nice. Youtube install looks pretty simple.

Thanks for the update.
