I did go ahead and buy the E rated tires and the Air Lift 5000 Ultimate shocks, and they made a huge difference. The trip home was uneventful.
Even still, I did a lot of research and found myself obsessed with the design of the Pro Pride 3P hitch: enough to actually buy one this morning. I don't want to put my wife, dogs, other people on the road, TV or TT at risk, and will be taking a 5k trip through TX-NM-CO-WY-MO-ID-WA-OR-CA-AZ-NM-TX early next year.

Your wheels are not rated for E rated tires. You have to go to the Ford 7 lug wheels for E-Rated tires. Ford offers an optional C rated LT tire for the standard wheels. The E-rated tires on the 7 Lug wheels only come on the HD Payload package.
You may want to change the air pressure to the correct psi for those wheels before you split them.
I use a Reese Strait-Line sway control hitch system with standard P-Rated tires and have no problems at all even in very high crosswinds near Lake Michigan.
