If you truely have 2,000 lbs on the hitch, that exceeds the capability of your WDH. There isn't a WDH made that can handle more than 1500 lbs hitch weight. This is way too much hitch weight for any truck and you need to re-consider how you load the trailer.

That's not the problem and I disagree. I have 13,000 miles on this truck, 90% of it towing with that 2000lbs on the hitch. No stress fractures or bending anywhere. At first I was surprised when I had it weighed but after thousands of miles of real world testing it will not be a problem. It tows fine when it's loaded full with water and no bikes on the back. The bumpy problem occurred when I emptied the water and added bikes to the back, no doubt taking quite a bit of weight off the hitch. I think I might have too much weight in the back of the trailer and not enough on the hitch.
