[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 1156092, member: 22531"] First of all the engine on this thing tows like a beast. I'm very happy with the low rpms even up steep hills. Also, I'm getting zero sway using anti-sway bars. At 75 mph, and up some steep hills, I'm averaging 9 MPG which is decent... But I'm fairly new to towing and am having some issues... I seem to be scraping everywhere; on my maiden voyage I ended up scraping the anti-sway bar pins completely off just by slowly exiting a gas station causing one of the sway bars to fall off. Ugh. The trailer I'm towing weighs 7,000 lbs loaded, the hitch weight is 900 lbs. The dealership where I bought the trailer installed the sway bar and did all the measurements so I'm assuming they did it correctly... What is the ideal solution to this problem? Different leaf springs, air bags, or is my hitch setup incorrectly? [/QUOTE]
