It sounds to me that by raising the front it shifted some of the weight from the hitch to the axles. With the hitch being lighter on the back axle of the truck (In My Opinion) it may be causing the bucking. If you eliminated the bed rails would you be able to adjust the hitch to a lower position and possibly shift some of the weight back to the front? My understanding is that the fifth wheel should be level when towing.
