If his tandem is all the way back that's probly his trouble, or maybe that combined with having the hitch installed in the wrong place. I put my trailer tandems on center at 2/3 of the deck length and it rides really good, and the weights come out just right. My son put his tandem back at 2/3 of the deck and put airbag in his hitch, and you never feel any trailer slap or bounce. We pull both of these trailers with up to 22 round bales at around 1000 to 1200 lbs. They don't waller around or slap on the highway. That's pulling them with a F250 7.3 and a F350 w/7.3 Another thought I had is that maybe this feller with the 6000 lbs tractor is using a Chibbie CK3500HD with a 6.5 in it. That would mean he was going so slow that the truck is bucksnorting and it's not really the highway seams or trailer tandem that are making it jump. It could just be the Chibbie knuckle under suspension combined with the Firestone roll over tires causing the bad ride. When Ford stopped taking shipments on the rollover Firestone tires GM took them as their premier tire now.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
