That's a lot of weight mounted high, which has increases the moment of inertia. If it doesn't have a rear stabilizer bar, it should. Even after just putting Firestone Transforce tires on my truck, I noticed over steer with the new camper shell, even though I run 10 PSI higher pressure in the rear tires. Didn't have that problem with the old Michelins, but they don't make that size any more. It's a problem, even with the equalizer hitch. Since I tow a 26 foot travel trailer, I'll be balancing out the suspension with a rear stabilizer bar.
