Weighing your Truck and trailer will reveal the right numbers but I towed my race car for many years and it took me a couple of tows to get the car set correctly on the trailer.
If the car was set too far backwards by a couple of inches, then there was less weight on the tongue and made the trailer feel very "lively". When I had a WD hitch on my camper, I noticed that if I was too aggressive with the springs, that this too would make the camper "lively".
Try all the basics (tire pressure etc) and then adjust the WD hitch to put a bit more weight on the tongue - try a little bit at the time.
