Moving the jeep back and fourth, how do I know when tounge weight is correct? Moving it around on the 16ft hardly makes a difference. Is that because the dually is empty and just the jeep and trailer is fairly a light load? Last summer we pulled the Jeep 2000 miles with it too far forward and I destroyed all four tires on the trailer. I don't want to test for correct tounge weight by going through trailer tires. Thank you

Its hard to think that a jeep loaded on a 16ft trailer would cause tire issues...I've pulled mini vans, jeeps and several different cars on a 16ft trailer with them pulled all the way to the front of the trailer and never had a tire or handling issue. With an average vehicle its pretty hard to mis-load a 16ft trailer. My guess is you might have been driving over the speed rating on the tires or they weren't in good shape to begin with. Now that's based on a factory built 16ft car trailer and not one someone built not knowing where to locate the axles. Based on the bikes you mentioned your going to be around 1250lbs for both of them. A jeep wrangler 4-door Unlimited is going to be in the 4100-4200lb range, 2 door being less weight so on a 7000K trailer your going to be near the max load rating of the trailer so you should look for a 20ft that rated at 10K. Weights were researched, rest just my opinion.
