It looks to me like the WD is doing its' job just about right. There is no need for the Timbrens at all if your WD is set up properly - and it looks like it is. I would leave the L brackets alone as they look to be at the right height. The bars cannot interfere with the frame on an Equal-i-zer hitch unless they hit very front of the A frame right behind the hitch head since they merely slide forward or backward on the L brackets and cannot swing left or right under the A frame at all..
Timbrens are great for carrying a load in the bed of the truck but really not needed at all when using a weight distributing hitch. I would look for another reason for the funny handling.

I've used Timbrens for 9 years and think they are great. Their customer service is also great. Just be careful about the additional spacers. If the gap is really really small, it can cause a rough ride when unloaded. It has never bothered me, but it bothers some people.

Are the Timbrens compressed when hitched and WD applied? If they are not touching, you are still only using the stock suspension which you have judged to be inadequate. Timbren will supply spacers to take up any gap that exists. There "should" be a gap when unhitched to maintain the original ride. There should not be when towing. I had to play around with both spacers and hitch settings to get things right. Hope I haven't confused you. Mine had very little gap when unhitched, due to the weight of a fiberglass topper and the usual stuff in the bed of the truck.

Here are the numbers I found:
Hitch coupler height = 23 3/4
Truck alone:
Front height = 36 1/4
Rear height = 39 3/8
Truck with WDH attached:
Front height = 36 1/4
Rear height = 38
