Towing a 36' 8,500lb trailer, 950lb hitch weight, with a 2015 Silverado LT 5.3 with towing package.
I wouldn't tow that with my truck, but if you are doing what you are doing in those kinds of winds, then, there you go..
Increasing the ratings on the bars will apply some more weight transfer to the front end of the truck, but then can your frame mounted hitch handle that extra stress??
Sounds like your base foundation (truck) is really the weak link, but you just gotta do what you gotta do..
Good luck!
