I really appreciate all the suggestions, I think the problem is as many of you ave mentioned the front end height needs to be same height as unhitched.

Do you think that an add-a-leaf or a helper leaf would be useful? I put firestone airbags on my last f150. I know that they should not be needed with a WD hitch, but am trying to think of some more solutions. Recently got the truck so a new one is kinda out of the question right now, although I am very impressed with the ecoboost engine, no problems with power at all.
D rated tires and anything that will stiffen the rear suspension certainly won't hurt. IMO I'd go Timbrens. I've had SuperSprings, Air bags and now Timbrens. All on different trucks. The Timbrens are very easy to install, relatively cheap and the empty ride stays the same.
Nothing wrong with adding a little beef to any truck if it helps the handling.
JMO I've towed similar and you can throw the bank at that truck but you won't ever get that solid feel that a 3/4 ton will give. Adding some improvements will definitely help. Don't get in to a hurry adding things. Take your time.
