Default 6400 ride issues ???s

I know this topic has been beat to death, and seems slightly contraversial so let me start by saying:

I knew exactly what I was getting when I/We bought it. It handles like a dream, after a 1500 or so miles I didnt realize that getting to a destinjation could be so stress free. We started with a TT, then went to a Class C, then to the SuperNova. Over the last 20 or so years I had grown accustomed to being worn out when we arrived at our destination. Gone are the days of feeling like the machine is being pushed to the limit constantly. Gone are the days of being fearfull of side wind. Gone are the days of worriyng about where the rig would end up while passing on oncoming semi on a steeply crowned 2 lane highway. (all you Mexico travelers know what I mean)

Now to the heart of my concern. I tow a 20 enclosed trailer. None of the stuff stays put on the front bench. I towed it behind the class C and nothing ever moved. Now everything ends up on the floor. I havent had the trailer weighed, but it has enough tongue weight to tow perfectly straight even with the load mostly to the rear of the trailer. Going to the desert last weekend I hit some pretty good roller coaster type hills. When I got there the 1000lb tongue 10,000lb ball mount was bent substantially. I am positive the tongue is under 1000. I estimate somewhere in the range of 5-600lb. There is a spot I noticed coming home that has many gouges from trailer jacks digging in. I am assuming this to be where it happenned. I might have been traveling a little fast 75+, just because it is such a confidence enspiring ride. I will obviously need to modify this behavior.

Shocks seem like a reasonable up grade, but I am hoping to address this problem at the same time. Do you who tow trailers use load leveling hitches?
