Check your whole setup again.

Fender height should be back to requirement from truck manufacturer - for Fords it should be 1/2 the difference of the first 2 measurements. If it is not adjust using the washers. Ensure all fittings are tightened to torque specs from Equalizer.
I run tires - trailer 50 PSI truck 44 PSI.
After getting this all set unit should tow fine. Mine is similar weight with 1/2 ton truck and 1200 lb bars.
For piece of mind and confirmation weigh at a CAT scale as outlined in other posts here.
