[VAC] Re: re tow vehicle
It could be too much weight transferred to the tow vehicle for the weight in
the trailer. Personally I would try towing with a small amount of weight
transfer until it "feels" right. I have also found that tire pressure in the
front tires has a lot of effect upon sway, but then I tow without any weight
distrubution with an 85 1/2 surburban with 1 ton springs on the rear. Mine
has a 350 with 3.91 ratio rear end. It is also for sale since I bought the 1
ton powerstroke Ford, It does not need any weight dist either. However,
when I tow (without weight distribution) a lot depends upon tire pressure. A
lot also depends upon the sidewall flex of the tires.
Just my $0.02
