33 feet is a bit long for an F150. I prefer trailers under 30 feet. Just my preference. I would switch to load range E tires, a sway bar and replace the rear shocks. What is the payload capacity of your truck (yellow sticker in the door)? You will run out of payload before towing capacity.

First off, you simply can't guess your weights. The unloaded weights are worthless except for on the way home from the dealer. Try an excell sheet like I have (I can send it your way) to determine if your front axle is close to stock or not.
Second, give a good look at how the trailer is loaded. Make sure the bulk of the weight is in front of the front axle. Anything behind can cause it to sway a bit.

I haven't bought my TT yet but when we do it will be coupled to ours with a ProPride 3P 1400 hitch.

I've been using the bathroom scale method to get good estimates of my actual tongue weights. It's a bit clunky, but you can have your tongue weight in under 5 minutes fairly easily. Way better than just a wild *** guess.
