When you set up the weight bars on your weight distributing hitch use the tongue jack to raise and lower so it's easier to lock the chains. Shorten chain or change the receiver angle if the trunion type equal side to side. Front of the truck should take the load and become more level. Air bags in combination will help and probably a good addition on half ton or any truck.
At the end measure the height of the trailer front and back on level ground, front should be 1-2" higher closer to 1 may be better.
Front of the trailer down makes it wag need some weight on the back tires.
Cube buses and big trucks flying by are still going to push the trailer along with some SUVs that push a lot of air particularly if they are between you and a jersey barrier.
