Another one of these threads. Too much trailer and not enough truck. I too did this with my last combo - a 3.5 Max Tow with a 27 foot 7000 dry TH. It was not comfortable or safe, and was very sensitive to load placement. You can bandaid it all you want, but at 1970 payload you are 500 lbs short and you can't fix that. You shoulda bought the HDPP if you had to have a 1/2 ton. That's what I did with my 18 and it tows 9000 lbs beautifully. You have a primitive WD setup too - you need 1200 lb bars and real sway control. Friction sucks. Look at the Husky Centerline TS series. Far superior and not expensive.
Scale it unloaded and loaded, otherwise you are guessing. I'll bet you are over 1000 lb tongue weight which doesn't leave much payload, and that you are at or over RAWR. Gonna need a bigger boat.
