If that is the case your 1000# bars could be at their upper limit. Maybe a heavier WDH is in order?
I say this because I just went though the same thing with my new rig. I went to a 1400# WDH and it was way easier to spring the bars and solved the weight transfer issue I was having.
All that said. When all is done you want a little squat on your truck. You should never really achieve 0 drop on the trucks rear suspension...

I don't get it. Why do you want squat on your rear end? My 150 is dead level front and rear with the trailer attached and 1 inch nose down on the trailer. Any "squat" in the rear of the truck just contributes to needing to wrench the bars tighter to keep the front end of the tow vehicle down. Caveat, all setups are different.
