Just from outside looking in.... That's a 7600 lb./31' trailer behind a 1/2 ton Ram QC. Having towed with a 1/2 ton Ram 1500 QC I suspect some issues;

1) When you towed empty your wdh/sway was probably at its limits. That large a trailer on a 1/2 ton needs a 4 point sway control to keep it in line. 2) Unless you've changed them you are at the point the P rated tires on the truck are beyond their capability to "control" the push of the trailer. 3) The additional weight has now exacerbated any issues you may have with worn shocks or suspension components after 6 years. 4) I added air bags on mine to help and they did. If you make those mods and make sure the truck is not overloaded and the wdh dialed in properly you should be good to go but I doubt you will ever have a "good" towing experience with a 2 point sway with that combo.
