As i am sure the op is already aware Setup is key with the wdh. Make sure trailer and truck are level. Like mentioned earlier what are the measurements of the front wheel fender unloaded,loaded and with wdh engaged. Your goal is to be half way or 3/4 back to normal with wdh engaged for most setups. Also with a trailer that has a gvwr of 9900lbs. It sounds like new tires with 10ply rating are in order that are capable of 80 psi. This stiffer sidewall will help tremendously. I tow a camper similar in weight with a equalizer 14k hitch. Its rock solid my guess is hitch setup issue

My gross trailer weight is 9900 lbs with max load capacity of 1300lbs . Totalling 11200 lbs fully loaded .
We never tow with full water or sewer tanks
My trailer is a bumper pull with tongue weight of 1300lbs and axle weight of 8600lbs
Tires on trailer are fully inflated to 65psi
I am using a Anderson rapid hitch rated to 1600 tongue and 16000lbs towing
I have also tried the Anderson anti sway hitch with the sway control on the truck shut off with no real difference in the sway.

Are you sure your tires are fully inflated? My sticker says 70psi front 80 psi rear, not 65...
I also agree with others that you NEED a weight distribution hitch. No question about it and it needs to be set properly.

MY GVW is 9200 and when we go camping on the beach I wouldn't doubt we're there plus the stuff loaded in the back of the pickup. I have air springs and WDH and once I hit the combo setup right, it's good to go.
Your GVW is 9900 period....not far from mine. You have an F350 mine is an F250, you should not have this problem.
