I have a 2012 Jay Flight 26BH and the loaded weight is about 6500 - 7000 lbs. With a standard TT, tongue weight is usually an average of 13%. So my tongue with could be between 850 and 900 lbs.
I use 1000 lbs bars and I have my chain link set at 8 links past the rotary latch to the end of the chain and at 3 1/2 links from the bottom of the rotary latch plate and the bar.
I initially had it 1 link weaker and the truck and camper sagged a bit. Putting it up one link put both the truck and camper level(camper foot is about 1.5" off of asphalt).
I really can't see your pics, they are to small to inspect and you can't enlarge. Try flicker, it is a great service that allows enlargement and is free. It's a service of Yahoo.
Guessing, I'd say you don't have your bars pulled up high enough. Add some links.
BTW, if you're using same trailer and same Blue Ox Sway Pro system that you had on your F150, boy were you overloading the receiver hitch of that F150. Looks like you're right at the limit of your F250 hitch.
I've never seen a properly setup WDH with proper size bars, ever cause a bad nose high, bad rear end sag condition on a truck/trailer combination. Sight but not bad and under properly sized spring bars, the combo could be level if not a bit rear high high, nose low.
