Nice work. Did you do a before and after measurement of the tongue weight? How much did that gen set weigh?
Also someone else mentioned adding more batteries up front, but there are already 2 30gal propane tanks and two 12 volt batteries, so no real need for, more other than for the weight.
I never weighed only the tongue weight. I also had a 400# Yamaha Raptor 350 on the back of it too (by itself) with my other larger rack. It significantly lowered my tongue weight to the point where I must have the fresh water tank of 60 Gal. full whenever towing but it's not in any way a safety issue. Trailer spec's: 5500# dry and 7800 (GVWR.cat scaled). The Onan is 235# dry and I also have a 5 gal. fuel tank/can that I strap to the rack too. I would put a hitch on the front of your truck. I did that with my Ford Expedition years ago for my yz450F and it worked perfect.
