Front load and handling - taming a jerky ride - front weight?

Hi All,

I have a bike I love, but the handling is a little on the jerky side. It has very low trail, and 35mm tires. I'm wondering if anything can be done, short of a new fork, to make it handle a little more stably.

Would front weight help, or just lead to an even weirder ride?

Is there anything else that is commonly done in this situation?

I'm trying to get some clues before I start spending money on racks and bags that don't fix the problem.

Thanks for your help!

-Jim
