Trailer changes helped a lot ( I did dexter equalizers and moryde flex pin box)
Sulastic shackles helped with empty ride, shocks and tire pressure helped as well.
Things that worked for me.

When you state tire Pressure set to Max, are your refering to 80 psi from the sidewall max, or the Payload sticker 65 psi for the 9,500# or so max axle load??

If you are going to 80 psi, your tires are over inflated, your TH 5th wheel starts with a 2,915# pin and with toys in the back might make 3,200# to 3,500# you are nowhere near 9,500# on your rear axle, and the inflation for 9,500# is 65 psi.
