Just curious.....
For me its just the reaction between the truck ,and trailer ,how they respond to each other going over bridge expansions or bumpy roads. As far as just going down the road ,and how the fifth wheel is riding hitting bumps etc, I can't really tell. I can hit a bad spot in the road, and not feel anything when the fifth wheel hits the same spot.

Before I replaced the shear springs on my previous fifth wheel the trailer seemed to be working against the truck going over rough road too much bounce.
