A couple feet???!!!! I've barely ast the dovetail as it is. I've placed my Jeep there everytime with that trailer so far and it tows great like that. It doesn't sway, doesn't buck, just rides down nice and smooth behind whatever truck I've had it on.
The Durango just has a really soft rear suspension. It sags down an inch or so with the empty trailer on it. I'm going to do airbags first and then if I'm still not happy I'll look into a weight distributing hitch. In all reality I've got so many trucks I can borrow I probably won't even be using the Durango to tow my Jeep farther than Left Hand or MSV.
I will say though, I ddragged it around my neighborhood like that (didn't go out onto the main streets as I don't have my trailer connector yet so no lights) and at least getting up to 25/30mph it accelerates a hell of a lot better off the line than my 5.3 Silverado ever did. I honestly barely noticed the weight in terms of throttle input and acceleration. Now in my steering.... yeah i felt it there.
