    If your pick up bed trailer sways more than likely the tongue is too short. Build all of mine with 5 foot of tongue from edge of the bed forward. Mine don't sway, test them out at 75 and with the tongue being longer their straight as a razor even at 75

    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    Also make sure the truck is the same level or lower as the trailer or use a drop hitch, if your truck sets higher then the weight is on the rear of the trailer and it'll act like the "tail-wagging the dog"(sway).
