Although in a different field, I deal with engineers' mistakes regularly.
I suspect you are light on the tongue and heavy on the stress to your frame. If you can counter the load with additional weight on the front and stay under the various weight ratings, go for it.
Like others already mentioned, you need real weights, loaded for travel. Check those against the trailer axle ratings, tire ratings, trailer's gross weight rating, TV's gross combined weight rating and TV's rear axle ratings.
Also, this sounds like a job for something other than friction sway bar control. The next step would be dual cam or Equalizer.
Good luck in your pursuit to take all the toys. It is tuff to do.
