There are 4 leaf springs and the shocks appear to be factory.
Could I have too much weight on front wheels and not enough on rear? Tongue weight is a little over 1000lbs and almost 20% of that is on front wheels. Back axle has only about 4800lbs on it while rated to 6084.
I'm thinking a Safe-T-Plus should be my next step along with a 4 wheel alignment.
Then consider new shocks, and a trac bar.
