Lifts and large tires create problems with suspensions, brake lines, ujoints, and lots of other things. They make towing more difficult. I have never understood the appeal.

Our Jayco 28RLS advertises 710 lbs tongue weight. Actual weight has ranged from 980-1,071 lbs. RVs get fat pretty quickly with one or two more things added each trip.

If it only gave you some sway with the strong winds, but towed fine otherwise, it's likely tongue weight and alignment are ok. The 35" tires with I assume aggressive tread probably contribute to the unstable condition in the wind. A 2003 F250 I think has a 500 lb dead weight, 1,000 lb WD rated receiver. A 7k lb trailer is going to likely have over 900 lbs of tongue weight. I would recommend a WDH to satisfy the weight rating of the receiver and sway control for the wind. My choice is the Equalizer 4-point. But they are noisy. I keep mine quiet with grease on the ball, at the sockets and a dab on the L brackets. With only a 4" lift and 35's, the standard shank "should" have enough drop. Just my humble experience.
