It has to be a tongue weight issue when unloaded. If you drop the ball one notch unloaded, I would drop it one more or move more weight up front.
The opposite happens with rubber torsion axles, because there is no equalizer between the axle. When the trailer is nose-down, more of the weight is carried by the front axle, therefore shortening the effective wheelbase and reducing tongue weight. Of course, the opposite holds true too. Not to mention the potential for overloading tires. Trailers with rubber torsion axles MUST BE TOWED LEVEL.
