Question on shocks

New guy here. I have a 2021 Della Terra 230RB with a reported weight of 5200 lbs. Tow vehicle is a 2021 Ford F150 w/5L V8, factory installed tow package. I added a weight distribution hitch and sway bars. When towing the trailer, the front of the pickup seems "squirrley" (the lane keeping system on the truck is turned off.) Question: Should I add a set of super springs and heavy duty shocks or bite the bullet and put on air shocks? Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards

You shouldn't need to add anything to the truck, that is plenty enough truck for the trailer, try adjusting the weight in the trailer. Maybe trailer sway is causing the truck to sway. Just my thoughts, i'm sure you'll get numerous advice from others on this subject..

I'd find a Cat scale and make sure your hitch is set properly. Lots of YT videos on how..
