That is a lot of weight to be hanging off the back of that small 5er, you are placing about 10 percent of the dry weight off the rear.
Will reduce pin by likely up to 400# (the axles are not a perfect fulcrum), and place a lot of rear of the axle making the 5er subject to sway induced by a heavy weight rear of the axles.
I tend to agree. In talking to our "trailer guy", he had added a swivel wheel setup to one of his customer's FWs and he hated it. Ended up taking it off after only 1 or 2 trips because the FW was so unstable.
Second thing that occurs to me is whether you =replaced= the OEM bumper tube or just braced it. Even with bracing, the OEM bumper still might be too light and weak for what you're trying to do. Again, JMO...
