You should have no issues pulling that trailer. I have a similar setup that you have. I run a Curt TruTrack 10k WDH, I use Timber Grove Enterprise ASAMs (air assist springs). I run Nitto Terra Grappler G2's XL's, 116 load index for tires. (OEM Goodyears are 114 load index) XL tires are supposed to have a stronger side wall. I would look at something like these if you hate the Goodyears: https://www.discounttiredirect.com/buy-tires/general-grabber-hts60
With the air springs, I run 7psi in them when normal driving, I run about 14psi in the air springs when the trailer is hooked up with the WDH. 14psi is enough to stabilize everything when towing my TT.
The WDH I use:

The Timber Grove ASAMs I have installed: They didn't have the stainless steel when I purchased though:

Thanks for the tire recommendation. I do hate these Goodyear's. There are probably better versions of this brand but the factory installed tires are not so good imo. I have had the bed loaded down and if feels like the tires can't hold the truck just going around small curves at an appropriate speed. Add rain to the mix and it's even worse.
Also I'm glad to hear you have a similar trailer. First hand experience is always better than opinions. I'll look at all of the parts you linked when I get home from work. Thank you for all the info
