The specs on your trailer list a dry pin weight of 2,120#. Do you have any idea how much the pin actually weights? (General rule of thumb is to expect the actual loaded pin weight of a fiver to be around 110% to 125% of manufacturer's dry pin weight rating.)

Do you have the payload info for your particular truck and in particular, the max rating for the rear axle? (The rear axle rating should be on the door sticker.)

Also we need to know the GVWR of the truck and, if possible, the curb weight of the truck.

Finally, we need to know exactly what size and load range tires you have on the rear axle.

Your trailer is GVWR'd at 14,020#.

I'd like to see all of your numbers before I offer any thoughts.
