so based on your description, you are grossly under weight on the hitch.
More weight on the hitch is almost always good so long as you don't overload the truck weight limits.
I'm not sure what this contraption will do. How much does it weigh and where is it's center of gravity? Moving the hitch further forward will reduce hitch weight but the weight of the contraption might counter that. You are still likely going to be light on the hitch.
Definitely get it weighed before putting a Band-Aid on that may or may not do anything.
According to their site it weighs 350 lbs. Just Looking at it, i would say most of that will be over tongue or atleast behind the tailgate.
The hitch on my truck is rated for 2200 lbs of tongue weight. Its an aftermarket hitch because fords was only rated for 1000 lbs tw.
