Message: <blockquote data-quote="LDUBS" data-source="post: 467791" data-attributes="member: 21536">Too much tongue weight is a potential safety/control issue beyond your vehicle's tow rating.  TTodd says shifting the bunks back could change weight distribution on the trailer.  I also think you would be OK,  but TTodd has a lot more experience than me.   So, if that is a potential issue you want to avoid, then simply replace the current bunks with longer bunks on so the transom is supported. I would not move the tongue weight even further out of the best practices range.  I mean, the fix is so simple and inexpensive, why further violate a safety standard.  But, that is just me.</blockquote>
