The effect of moving the bikes to the back may pull too much weight off the tongue, causing trailer sway. Remember the effect of moving the bikes to the opposite side of the axles is about 2X the weight of the bikes. 100lbs of bikes will pull 200lbs off the tongue.
I think you have your math a little backwards. Since the axles are biased towards the rear of the TT (offset to the rear from length centerline) then any weight added to the rear will offset the TW by a fraction of the weight added, not a multiplication of that weight. 100lbs of bikes on the rear will reduce the TW by less than that 100lbs.
but the bike was also moved so 100 is taken off plus the percentage given by leverage from the bikes on the bumper. Compromise on 150?
