How do I move weight forward?

I appreciate everyone's responses so far. Putting ballast on the pin would not be my first choice, just wondering if it would work. As well as wondering how much I am putting on the axles being a little low in the back.

My pin is really light.

Pin garage empty: 2,620 lbs (17.75%)
Pin Bike+water: 2,140 lbs (13.16%)

With the bike and water it tows absolutely wonderful. Without the weight, it sways a lot.

I was restricted by length due to my choice of camper storage. As a result, I chose a double axle trailer under 38'. I knew there would be limitations but this model seemed to have the best CCC of the ones I looked at. Once on the scales, obviously I am having some issues with distribution. It's fine for my cycle and smaller sxs, which is what I will have to stay focused on. I will play around a little more, run less fuel in the cell. Move some weight around the best I can, maybe see if lowering the pin will help any. The factory spare is just in front of the axles, maybe I can move that to the front storage as well.

Upgrading the axles seems like the best option, but not necessary if I can figure out how to distribute the weight.

I'll keep everyone updated.

Balast on the pin would increase the Percentage pin weight but wouldn't do anything for the overweight axles.

You are WAYYYY light at 13% with the bike in the back and adding another 1500lb would only make it worse. It would probably drag you below 10% and I would worry about handling.

I believe you are running up against the technical vs practical limits for CCC. Even with your Bike, it's questionable at 13% pin weight. It's odd that adding weight to the back and reducing pin weight is making the ride worse. Typically they higher the pin weight the better the towing experience.

It's possible the manufacturer just mucked up the design with no practical way to utilize the garage to it's full rating.
