10% tongue weight is pretty ugly. Every time I had a trailer get around that number it had a tendency to sway.
That being said, I would reload all of your heavy stuff up front if you had more room on your rear axel weight. The closer you get to a 15% number the better it will tow and handle and brake. The trick is to get all four tires and brakes to do the same work on both the trailer and truck.
I also like the get a 50/50 split on steer/ drive. On most setups you can't get there but I like to get as close a possible on those numbers.
Also get the front of the trailer down in the front by an inch or two. This will help with aero and put a few pounds of tongue weight on your trailer. This will also help with panic braking.
Have fun and good luck.
