Towing after Timbren Install

I recently upgraded my TT from an 18' to a 26'. I was having some control issues towing even after adjusting my weight distribution hitch. I then installed a set of Timbren SES. I am still having issues and I am wondering if my hitch ball needs to be lowered now after installing the Timbrens. I had our friends take a video of us from behind towing. The video showed that I am not swaying nearly as much as I feel like I am. Here is the best picture I can get of my rig on a flat surface. I look forward to any constructive input.

    So what are your weights?

    Truck Steer axle, rear axle (w/o trailer)
    Truck steer axle, rear axle and trailer axles (w/o WDH)
    Truck steer axle, rear axle and trailer axles (WITH WDH)


    Timbrens ...like air bags just level/correct sag when hitched

    But WDH set up provides correct tongue weight and control



    Looking at picture...need to adjust so trailer is a bit nose down
    BUT weighing is much better means of setting up WDH

    That's a 26' body but a 30' trailer with a 9300# GVWR
    Really need to go get weighed
