When I had my 2010 F150 and was towing our previous TT that had a TW of 900-950 lbs, I had to really lift the truck up. I was using an EQ with 1200 lb bars. If I didn't pay attention I once in awhile lifted the rear tires off the ground.
Kudos to Barker tongue jacks as it never broke. I had to lift the truck up 4-5" or more. I've also used an EAZ-Lift WD and when hitched up the spring bars had some bend in them. Seemed normal to me.
JMO but you should be setting up the front fender as close as you can back to it's original height. That would get you back to the original weight.
From you weights it looks like you need 1500 lb bars. If you empty RAWR is 3900 lb a when hitched it's 5450 lbs then thats an increase of 1550 lbs.
Bags won't do anything to transfer weight.
