If you go to the Sidewinder, you will be increasing your pin weight. The Sidewinder is about 150 lbs heavier than the regular pin box. So what you will be doing, is by going with a regular hitch, loose about 80 lbs with the hitch, but gain 150(ish) lbs on pin weight. I have a short bed RAM, and use a Sidewinder on my trailer to gain pin weight, due to the trailer having a light pin weight. Actual weight on the truck going from a slider to the Sidewinder is pretty close to the same.

Thanks for the tip. In my research I also want a fan of not being able to get the 20k pin box with the cushion. I’ll stick with my slider for now

For anyone else that comes across this thread, the reason it's better in the Standard/Default position instead of "Alt Position" (Lowered) is because Alt Level Position in intended to be used when hooking up and any time you need the front lowered or softened up for a rough road or such. When you want to hook your trailer up that was taken off the truck while in the high position (squatted from weight) it won't line up so you can use the Alt Position to lower it. At least that is my understanding and what the manual tells us.
This also makes a lot of sense on why you get the sway, you don't have the extra air pressure in the bags helping support your load, especially since you are a 3/4 Ton that is overloaded.2021 320G 3 Awnings, Patio Kit, 3 Season Doors, 3 ACs, Upgraded Stereo
