Just as a question, does your Weight Distribution hitch have anti-sway bars on it? If not, try installing a set and see what happens. Your truck may cary the weight, but the trailer will sway without the anti-sway bars.
Very good point. Not all WDH have anti-staw built in and so far I have seen no details of the hitch. Could be the OP has the inexpensive round-bar type WDH which has no anti-sway and relies on separate friction bars to help control sway. If that is the case then, aside from assuring the 15% tongue weight first, the OP is well advised to change the WDH and get one with anti-sway built in. A popular, reasonably priced and effective alternative is the Equal-i-zer hitch. WDH alone does nothing to control sway.
This too, in addition to the truck height issue.
