I went thru the same sway problems with my Reflection 297rsts but finally got it resolved. I went to a class A because of driving distances but wouldn’t think twice if traveling two days one way. read this thread Think I'll be ok on weight? page 12 or 13. goes on how I got to get the sway under control. I had 1300 tongue and 9100 total. Like suggested you need to go the cat scales and get the right weights. Good luck !!!!!!!

I,m not a newbie to towing and I’ve been sorting out my current trailer towing for two seasons. I have a 2018 F150 Super Cab, 3.5, 6 1/2 ft bed, tow capacity 10,600 lbs, trailer 6780 lbs, hitch weight 520, and bumper to ball is 30 ft. Those weights are before loading. I've done all the calculations and am way under all the limits advertised by Ford of my trucks capabilities after loading the trailer and truck for a trip. Still I get sway, buffeted around by big trucks and big 5th wheels. I also get “porpoiseing” when I encounter whoop de does on the freeways, and I don’t go faster than 65 mph. Before buying the F150 I towed the same trailer with my 2011 Titan Pro4X and all worked beautifully. I just think Ford over rates their F150, to the detriment of their buyers. I have just turned 19,00 miles on my truck, and so far I’ve put on new rear shocks, Bilstein 4600, and a Hellwig helper spring over the rear leaf springs. I’ve towed twice with those new items with very little improvement. I also now use duel friction control bar with my setup, which has helped some, but it is not there yet. My next move will be to add a rear sway bar to the truck. Good luck with your situation.

Your under the recommended 10% (min) hitch .......just saying 🤷🏻‍♂️

Added a Helwig sway bar on the rear and the result was almost all sway was eliminated. This was noted after two camping trips totaling a little over 400 miles, and some crosswinds of 13 to 17 mph.

Great !!!!!!! Did you ever get it to the cat scales to see the actual weights?
