Talking My vibration issue solved! Case closed

My truck would get the shakes only when I pulled my 16' trailer with my 4-wheeler. I pulled the trailer with anthor truck no vibration. So, I thought it was my truck.
Called the dealer to find a good time to bring it in. Befor I do I thought I had better have thought of everything.
Started looking at the trailer and noticed the tounge is really short. I can't open my tailgate with out it hitting the trailer jack. hmmm I load my 4-wheeler as far forward as possible to chain it to front of trailer. hmmm
I tied the 4-wheeler in the middle of the trailer above the axle and guess what. The vibration was no longer.
Feeling stupid never felt better!!!
I would still like to have the vibration damper installed though. Maybe stop the bed for vibration. Though it causes no problems. Anyone know the part no.

It seems that when my Fx4 scab is loaded, the shakes seem to greatly diminish. The other day 4 adults, 1 medium child, and 1 cr85 and not really noticeable
