First of all, Thanks to everyone! I learned a bunch of new stuff in the thread. I will be getting my trailer out for some maintenance before camping season and I will update you all once I get some numbers and weights.
As far as tires go, I am 90% sure they are 75mph rated, but I have to replace one before getting it due to a blow out (they are total POS tires, and a blow out on the 1st trip AND the company refused to warranty it), mind you it was 121 degrees F that day (I am not exaggerating) so that doesn't help.
I am going to take it to a scale if I can find one nearby enough and try to get some weights, there are some rock yards that are close by and might let me borrow one for a few min.
As far as severity, its not crazy at all, I can manage and I do expect some with the brick this large in the wind. It only gets a bit sketchy when I have gotten passed by a big rig and feel him "pulling" me in close, and it gets really close.
That being said, I do believe how tall and light these are, it make sense to me that this behavior is expected, it was just a bit drastic from my last setup.
I will also be doing some changes to the pitch and height of the hitch and see what that does, I will report back my findings, thanks again everyone!
