    I, beg to differ. When loading a single axle trailer, my main goal is to get as much weight forward as possible. Also, you want your trailer running downhill to the front, many ways to achieve this, bigger tires on the trailer, drop hitch to get your ball lower. This is why I run slightly taller tires on my pickup bed trailers and tilt the tongue so that the trailer is 4-5 inches lower in the front, upon loading it sets level almost. A back heavy trailer, especially a single axle, is a accident waitin to happen.
