Your weights seem ok, though the unlatched wd bar total weight is off some compared to total weight w/ wd bars latched up.... Hitch adjustment looks ok.... Husky Centerline- suppose to have built in sway control if it's the upper model as I understand.
I figured 6,060lbs for the trailer, tw- 820lbs, about 13.5%.
What was the tire pressure of both the truck and trailer tires??? What tires are on the truck, p-rated car tires, or LT's???
Any water in any of the tanks if behind the trailer axles?
Maybe YOUR trailer needs a little more tongue weight? It can vary between different models and manufactures, up to 15% or so for a stable tow.
If your fresh water tank is in front of the trailer axles, maybe fill it at least 1/2 fill and take a drive to see how it is??? Couple members are very good at figuring the percentage that would be on the tongue if you give them the measurement from tongue to center of the tank, then center of the tank to the center of the trailer axles (middle between front and rear axles).
