Is it your lack of experience towing or not knowing what to expect? Yes trucks drive differently with a trailer hooked up. But if your trailer is actually only 4400lbs, I can’t imagine even needing a WDH much less it taking a significant amount of weight off the front of the truck.
2” level and some mud tires isn’t by itself going to affect handling that much.
4400lb trailer AND a bed full of heavy “stuff” is a different situation.
Little more about the setup?
How much does it sag the truck when you drop the trailer on? Would have to be VERY tongue heavy trailer at that weight to make much difference in steering.
