I did speak with the service dept where I bought the trailer and they said the added weight was still within tolerance and if I felt it being a little "bouncy" to bring it in for readjustment. |

I would measure your new tongue weight. You likely need to add some counterweight to the rear to get back to the 10-15% tongue weight goal, plus you are probably over the tongue weight rating of your WDH which means it will be unable to redistribute the weight. Counterweight will fix that too.

Nice job. Some day the run-flat tires will be standard and we won't need the spare....or you can do like some of the new small cars and just put a can of tire sealant and a small air pump inside and hope that works. Goose

Really nice job. It may just be the perspective of the photo but it looks like the Equalizer torsion bar under the spare tire would be a pain to access to get in place.
