Trailers fishtail when they don't have enough tounge weight. Move your axles toward the back or add ballast weight to the front. 3" tounge loading sounds excessive depending on what your tow vehicle is. You only want a few hundred pounds tounge weight. Put a jack on a scale and jack the tounge so weight is unloaded from hitch. Adjust your load for a few hudred pounds. If the rig feels like it's seesawing when your going down the road, increase the tounge weight.
