I agree with getting good LT tires. I did this on my Tundra and it did make a difference.
As far as your rig being nice and level, and it is by the way, this can happen a couple of ways. I have an Equalizer and I can pretty much level the trailer by raising the ball, or by tilting the head and engaging the bars. If the ball is high enough it doesn't provide much pressure on the bars to keep it level. With little friction here the potential of sway goes up.
If the ball is too low then it will take a huge amount of pressure on the bars to level the trailer. The key, in my mind, is to balance this out. In the pictures your spring bars don't look like they are loaded down much.
Again, I don't have a hitch like yours so I might be missing something and I apologize if I am.
Don't give up on your combination too soon. Get some LT tires and by all means get it weighed. Try setting it up so it is just slightly nose down and see if that makes a difference.
