A recent addition of Helwig air bags made it much better to tow with...no more scissor action after road dips. I like to keep an eye on intervals due to what I feel is marginal braking with this set-up.

Might be an optical illusion but I'd say your tongue height is way too high! Level out that trailer and you will see yet another improvement.
