    Something else to check might be your cab airbags and shocks. If they are not working properly, you will feel more of the movement of your truck frame.

    This issue is pretty unmistakable. Your van will feel like a half loaded tanker.

    Feel pretty dumb. Simple problem. Suspension like everyone said. Only it was sold n the trailer. I drop my trailer and took the truck home to check.

    Height control valve linkage snapped. Allowing the leveler to go up and down freely. Caused the airbags to completely drain and put a lot of weight on 5th wheel

    I get that sometimes with certain trailers. But not very many.
