What's wrong with too much tongue weight?
I understand that too little tongue weight will lead to sway and that the target is between 10-15%, but are there any consequences to having more than that? I don't have concerns with my payload or W...

I have a GMC 2500, my trailer is 10k gvwr and I am close to that for camping. Trailer came with cheapie Trailer King tires that I put about 3k miles on them camping, longest trip one way 700 miles. Trailer had what I call a wiggle and I could feel it when the big trucks passed me and when the wind blew a little bit. Changed the tires to the Goodyear Endurance on the trailer and I don't feel that any more. Both had an E rating but big difference in sidewall stability.
Next thing is how heavy duty are the shackles and equlizer on the trailer suspension? If you have the plastic bushings could they be worn out? The suspension will get a little loose when they do. Think about upgrading to a wet bolt and bronze bushings type. Made a noticable difference in my last trailer when I did it to that one. Plastic/nylon bushings don't take long to wear out and get sloppy.
