The camper thread! Pulling, using, equipment, maintenance!

So I put on a Curt bumper hitch and added these brackets called "safety struts" to help the bumper from breaking off. I'm not planning on keeping this camper for a long time so I didn't want to do a real hitch setup. Honestly I plan on upgrading to a quad bunk trailer this winter. Anyways here are the brackets.
Also I replaced the bumper caps with new ones.

I just took the Ex through the scale today and was wondering if the setup looks OK. I just replaced the tires and the feel is different than with the old tires. I thought I'd run it through the scale and see where I was.
Front Axle 4026
Rear Axle 5060
Trailer Axle 5654
Anything standing out to the experts? Yes I'm looking at you Tom. Still the same rig.

I switched from the Michelin MS2 (My Ex didn't like the MS2's kept getting flats for no apparent reason) to the AT2 I'm running 55 in the front and 65 in the rear. They are load range E
I know I've run it across the scale in the past but can't seem to find any of the old numbers.
It almost feels like I have under inflated tires at times. I've already bumped them up 10 psi from what Michelin said they should be maybe I need more.
I'm also getting some minor porpoising nothing that concerns me but it's not as good as it was pre new rubber.
Thanks Guys
Sorry for the slow reply I was getting new tires on the trailer.
