I have no idea whats wrong with it but its all over the road with sway in front of the cig. So bad I thought I was gonna lose the boat this weekend (flip over) hooked up a buddies dually and the thing was straight as an arrow no sway, better braking.. etc.
X is going up for sale, looking for a dually

Do you have air bags on the back? I had the same problem, way to much tongue weight. I installed the air bags and it tows fine now. I also have electric brakes on my trailer, not sure what you have.

A dually would be a nice option though

Yes, my axles are 6' from the rear of the trailer and most of all the other Cig. trailers are 5'3" Even the 41 Apache is 5 7".
So this trailer is not set up right , thats why my tongue weight is light, thats why it sways uncontrollably with the X, thats why I have to buy a another truck. I have no idea why those axles are so far forward.
Too late now I just redid the whole thing so I`m keeping it, don`t know what else to do.

I have the opposite problem with very little tongue weight..

No haven`t done anything with those yet, too pitted to really bother spending any $$ into.
