My guess is with that TT your close to 8,000lbs loaded. 32'7" and 8,000lbs of TT is a lot for an F150 with just a 145" WB. If you don't have a WD hitch with built in sway then you'll never get a good tow. Also your TW will need to be on the upper end of the 10-15% recommended range which will get you near or past 1,000lbs. IMO it's too much TT for that truck. An HA or PP will fix the issue. Look for a used one. Might take awhile though to find one. Hate to say it but your really in 3/4 ton territory.
I tow dry.. always plan a place to fill up close to destination if I'm boon docking... im around 7400 loaded. The easy-lift has a friction sway control that is mediocre at best. I am setup up for max tow. and have suspension upgrades. airbags... a 3/4 ton is not an option at this point. but thanks. (If i could only talk my wife into letting me get my dream truck... ha!!!)
I really think adding a left side sway is a poor option when a better hitch setup is available...
