Is my TT too big for long trips?
We are at a crossroads with our current travel trailer. It’s a 2017 Flagstaff 831 BHDS measuring 34’9” total length & a dry weight of 7195, GVWR 8761. The tow vehicle is a 2015 F-350 with a 6.7 diesel...

Per your previous comment, you mentioned that your shank seemed a bit short where you still needed to drop the hitch by about 1". Get the right length drop as modern trucks are definitely higher than older trucks. And as many already mentioned, get that tongue weight back up to a proper weight for the loaded trailer weight. Even if your tongue weight is at 12%, consider going up to 15%. With the adjustments you made to align your cams, you are on the right track but not there yet.
The Reese DC Hitch is good but it requires fine tuning to get it right and get that solid tow.
This is always a great gif to get an idea of what too little tongue weight can do:
