Well, I'm leaning toward the problem being still too light on the tongue. Of our stuff, 360 lbs is in the trailer, and 415 is in the front pass through or on the very front (battery, propane), so not much to move around. With the Andersen tightened as much as I can get it, fender rise is still within Ford spec (they don't mention actual measured weight transfer), with full water. but, any more weight added and for sure the Andersen will not be able to transfer.

Yep, they're scarce in rural MN.
I actually restored 72% of the weight lifted from the front. Even with P-metric tires, the only time I get a noticeable oscillation is when a big truck passes. Even then, it's only one wiggle. Taking it across the scales is an eye opener. I just have the cheap, simple EAZ Lift Elite WDH.
