I still don't know what your problem *IS* to even make a recommendation. "Tows poorly" is meaningless, and you *are* driving scared even if you don't think so. It's subconscious. You mentioned the accident and how it affected you.
I would gladly make a recommendation, if only there was even a halfway concise description of a problem.
Too much tongue weight isn't your problem, and trying to reduce it with ballast... You'll have over 2000lbs in the back of your trailer before you see an appreciable change in tongue weight. The axles are simply too far back for that to work.
I still think his problem is that he is running "P" tires on his truck as I mentioned on page one. Needs to put at least LT tires on the truck.
I tell you what, I filled my P tires to max and I could tell the difference. It seems like a pretty decent tire as well, has 2 ply in the sidewall. Hankook dynapro at-m, 275/55/20.
You have found your problem, or at least the biggest problem. Load range E tires are a ten ply rating, they are much stiffer than a P tire.
