Steering wander again

Steering wander again
Got brand new tires. That helped a lot unless hauling a heavy trailer. So I figure that shifting weight off the front axle is adding to wander. Not an unreasonable load either. Probably 6-7k on a double axle trailer. No load leveling hitch.
By this description, any ideas where to start. I have not had the truck long and am not aware of past maintenance. Guy says he recently had the ball joints, etc done. I did the front hubs a couple thousand miles ago, due to noise.
2001.5, 2500 4x4, no suspension mods, 265/75-16 BFG KO's.
I have a new trac bar that I'm going to install. And thinking about a frame/steering box stiffener.

Guys at the tire shop assured me that 65 front and 80 rear is where trucks should be for tire pressure with heavy duty tires. I feel that with the diesel engine in the front that 80 in the rear is too much. So I lowered my tire pressure to 65 all around. Less wander now, but still need to do some front end work.
