Wow, this one is all over the place. Do not drop your truck's tire pressure to 55, especially on the rear axle. That is dangerous.
It sounds to me like you simply don't have enough tongue weight. Load it heavier. The sway will go away with enough tongue weight. Trying to look for other solutions might work, but adding tongue weight is sure to work.
Dangerous at 55psi? how?
OP says 1550lb tongue weight, so from the info given....avg big truck = 3000-3500lb empty rear axle weight + 1550lb tongue weight (which he's actually pulled weight off of with the wdh), so about 5000lbs on the rear axle and what's the tires good for at 55psi? Over 300lbs/tire.
This assertion is contradictory to your next statement of not enough tongue weight. Again OP measured trailer at 10,600 and tongue at 1550lbs. Sounds sufficient doesn't it? How much tongue weight should a 10k bumper pull have?
