i would add some weight. u bolt and big sinkers, lead blocks, ect, but what ever you do make sure its bolted on really well. don't want it falling off on the freeway and taking out a car, (your responsible). might also try heating the springs a little with a rose bud, but this will lower the arc on them and lower the trailer. let us know how it goes

trailer advise in a kayak fishing forum.....

while I agree, adding weight will smooth things out, you'll need at least 500lbs, probably more like 800.... but what ever you do,

DON'T HEAT UP THE SPRINGS!!!!

If you are heading home from fishing, you could always just weigh down the trailer with your daily limits of WSB, HBT, and YT...

Actually, you might wish to consider mounting the yaks upside down. They tend to get a bit aerodynamic (sorta like a plane's wings) and may actually be "lifting" the trailer at high speeds. Mounted upside down they "may" act in similar fashion to a spoiler.

Just a thought. Good luck.
