Be careful shifting too much trailer weight as you may start inducing wag affect that may be difficult to control on the highway.
Also I would weigh your front axle and shift as much weight up there as possible. Most rigs ride better and steer better if the front axle is close to the maximum axle weight, when fully loaded for travel.
Yep I am lite in front so I can add more weight, need to move the heavy stuff forward and the lighter stuff to the rear, also I bought a new hitch that has gauge built in to check my tonged weight, I feel its to heavy now, this way I can see how far I can move the Jeep back but still keep my tonged weight around 12 percent of trailer weight.
