Shaky towing experience, please advise
Just returned from a recent trip, comprised of three legs, each much longer than our previous trips. Leg A: 275 miles, mostly on 4 lane divided highways through the Texas hill country. I ran 55-60...

Your weights look good.
Your picture looks like the TT might be a little nose-high. If anything you'd like it to be slightly nose-low for best towing experience, not high.
Also recommend you check tire pressures as someone mentioned, LTs would work better than Ps.
Lastly, watch your speed. Don't tow faster than is comfortable. ST trailer tires are mostly max of 65mph. I personally tow at ~63mph, it makes for a comfortable experience (FW helps too) so much so that I enjoy towing more than driving without the tail. Just lock in cruise control, sit in the right lane and watch the scenery.
It gets easier each time you do it, modify your set-up to be slightly nose-low instead of high and enjoy the ride.
Here are a few side pics (from these very trips) to judge for nose up/nose down. This is without passengers.
(The truck and trailer weren't straight on that last one.)
Looks pretty level to me, maaaaybe a tad nose high?
When you say, "watch your speed" does that mean that it is normal to expect to only go 50-55 on interstates?
