Tires are not pumped up for the weight, so that may be a large part of it, too (Michelin Defender LTX, 17", LR "E").
You stated a potential issue right here. You have a soft sidewall tires by the design they are made from. If they are not stiff enough, truck wander can still happen even with the Pro-Pride or the Hensley.
If the front or rear of the truck is moving due to side wall flex, the hitch cannot correct for that. The truck has to hold solid to the pavement.
I had a very good friend and a prior RV net moderator with his F250 having this wander/wiggle issue on the older LTX running door sticker pressures. They where also new at the time which can sometimes even more aggravate the issue. Once he aired up the front tires, his issues went away. He was towing a 32 to 34 foot double slide rear bunkhouse Skyline in the 9,000# range with his Hensley.
Think of it this way, if the hitch is holding solid, which it is, and the truck wiggles in the side walls, what due think you will feel in the truck?
Hope this helps
