Heavier WD Bars Or Different Sway Control
Towing a 36' 8,500lb trailer, 950lb hitch weight, with a 2015 Silverado LT 5.3 with towing package. I have Reese Dual Cam WD with anti sway & 10,000lb bars & have been very satisfied with this setup. ...

I'm not too far off your trailer (33', 7606 empty, currently about 9200 lbs) and have a 3/4 ton with 1000 Spring bars specifically to help with what your dealing with. I haven't towed this rig (Trailer is about 2 months old) in crazy heavy winds yet but I'm not delusional that because I have a 3/4 ton, I won't ever deal with what your dealing with. I think it gives me a little more cushion having a heavier truck that's not anywhere close to maxed out on it's GVWR when those bad conditions come up. There will likely still be a time I decide it's a good time for a long lunch or we are going to stay an extra day because of a front moving through that would make our trip a tension filled, stress inducing towing skill demonstration.
If you haven't had to pull over because of road or weather conditions, keep towing, you will. Happens to everyone with any sense on occasion. The ones with no sense, end up in an accident or are just lucky. There are conditions that aircraft don't fly or land in for a reason (Wind Shear). We are pulling a 100" wide, 30' long+ wing behind a truck and there are conditions that it's just not safe to pull anything other than a low profile popup in.
