Scooby,
Yes correct on the hitch weight changing. Level might be 100 lb, an inch high 98, 2' 95 lbs. Going down, an equal increase IE to 102, 105 lbs. Enough to stop fishtail sway? That would depend on the how high at the start, vs getting to level or slightly down as I prefer. Along with the actual change in weight that occurs during this swing.

You might have to stand on the end of the wrench and give it a bounce or two to crack them loose. Just be aware that the wrench isn't going to hold you up and be ready to compensate when it turns. We don't need any skinned shins.

I'm going to go with a combo. Hitch too high as noted, along with too little HW. Nose high would make the too little HW be exaggerated some.
As noted, removing bolts adjusting etc is not a hard thing to do on the road. I've done it more than once. Have some penetrating liquid and a hammer to help it go between the threads helps. As would a 3-5' pipe to go over the breaker bar.
A tape to verify you really changed heights etc.

I would "GUESS" from what you have said you a light on tongue weight.
That's my best guess based on the limited info.
It's also possible, though less likely, the truck is overloaded. Just because the tow rating is 11k doesn't mean you can tow 11k without other ratings being over the limits. You might be over axle or GVWR and that can result in a squiggly ride.
One other thought, what are the tires? If the are passenger (as opposed to LT) with marginal payload rating, that can make for a squiggly ride.

Hey 240vPlug,
Welcome to the forum. Hopefully folks notice that this is your first post here and they take it easy on you. Sometimes the well-meaning members get a little intense and it feels personal.
It's not personal yet. They haven't gotten to know you well enough to be rude yet.
Kidding.
I hope you find your answers and get to enjoy your camping.
Cheers,
Dave - Administrator

This is one of those, way better to have someone else do it than try yourself type of things, just by reading your post. Especially if money is not tight, which it isnโt if youโre driving a Rivian.
