F150 Towing Problems
I have a 2014 f150 145" wheel base with the 5.0 V8, 331 gears, brake controler and 20" wheels. It has the tow package. Tow cap is 8000lbs. I just bought a 27 ft TT with a dry weight of 5800lbs. 700lbs...

The stock wheel well measurements of the truck are 38.5" rear and 37" front. After install and trailer hooked up with WD it's 36" all the way around. Dropped 1" in the front and 2.5" in the back. Trailer is level.
Your too low in the front. Definitely could be causing some of you issues.
I would recommend weighing the tongue on the trailer. You can do it with a bathroom scale. Won't be perfect but will get you a good working number.

Something seems out of whack a little. I get your stock measurements. But when I had my F150 I was closer to 2-2/12" higher in the rear. I see that you drop 2.5" when hitched. So if the rear is only 1.5" higher when empty and you only crank the front down to 37" to be close to stock then the rear is going to be lower than the front. Not sure that's a good thing. Seems like you have a really heavy TW.
