Invest in some tiedowns that are adequate for the load. Always retighten the load after going a few (5?) miles. Even with 3/8 chain and binders, they always develop some slack early on.

Balancing the load just forward of centerline between the axles puts a bit of weight on the tongue, without getting excessive bumper weight, and the entire rig pulls well.
