You will feel passing trucks tug at you even with a perfect setup. As long as no sway is induced, it's all good.
Try to get the trailer to set level or slightly nose down.
It sounds like your tongue is light. The WD hitch will not compensate for that.
You are correct that the head angle seems to be too upright.
You shouldn't be pulling faster than 65 anyway, but the trailer should not sway, even if you do.
A trip to the scales may be in order to eliminate the guesswork.
I’m going to lower the head angle before i take off tomorrow morning, and readjust the chains as needed.
A couple large square semi’s passed me at some considerable speed and they always caused a bit of sway. However, the more streamlined semi’s did not induce sway. That car carrier one was nuts. He had to be doing close to 80, and i was around 63 at the time and that was a white nuckle momment.
I have never been too, nor opperated any truck scales. I will need to research how to do it and what the results mean
