    OK, with all the advice, viewing the E-2 hitch installation video three times and getting my wife to view it and take notes, we FINALLY got the sway out of pulling the trailer with my F-150.
    Now another question: When adding more washers to get the hitch angle correct, the bolt that puts tension on the washers was only finger tight. After I added the additional washers and got the hitch problems corrected, we took a trip to Myrtle Beach and back. The bolt was loose again. I tightened it again with all I could put on a 2 ft pull bar with no cheater. Then we too anther 250 mile trip and it took about 150 degrees of turn to tighten again. Is this nut supposed to constantly be coming loose?

      Be careful with that bolt, as you add washers you have less bolt thread engagement and you may be stripping the bolt or the threaded hole, nut, which ever it is. You may need a longer bolt. I am not familiar with this hitch just making a suggestion.
