Cheapest and quickest is for more weight...make a test run...add more...test run, etc
As for more tire PSI...careful
It does add to the sidewall stiffness, but up to a point in reference to the actual weight.
More PSI does reduce the slip angle, but then goes the other way if too much so that the tread edges are lifted (not visible, just unweighted by the center rib ballooning) so the slip angle then goes higher
Another maybe is to make sure the trailer tongue is level at it's highest pointing and prefer pointing slightly down. Both more tongue weight and pointing slightly down has solve many I've helped both hands on and Internet
Also, consider BlueOx SwayPro WD Hitch system BlueOx SwayPro WD system
Your TV is a rare 'half ton' and what call 'fake half ton' at +8K GVWR. Am always making sure to note that for the lurkers out there who will then think all 'half ton' are the same.
On another thread a newbie is looking at either an Odyssey or F150, but that half ton has a GVWR around 6,200 lbs...about 2,000 less than yours...Ditto the GAWR's...newbies and/or lurkers can get into trouble thinking your half ton is just like their half ton...
