The suspension problems could make it a bit worse, but would most likely cause tire wear problems. With a 1/2 ton truck on a tri-axle trailer you will need to squat the truck a quite a lot to get enough tongue weight if you are fully loading the trailer. The proper hitch height for your trailer is for the trailer to pull level when it's fully loaded, which will leave it with the front up a bit when empty. Too many folks hook with the trailer level empty, then when loaded it's front down which can cause your problems too.
Jon said what I meant.
I can also guarantee that worn steering on the tow vehicle will cause the same problems.
