So loaded it back up today for the season and grabbed some new weights. Some improvement but still 200# removed from front axle. Moved some weight around and dropped hitch from 1080# to 1014# but looks like that's as low as I'll get it. Total trailer weighed today was 6800# so still 15% on hitch.
Leaning towards a Equal-i-zer hitch.
Some concerns posted that a 1200#/12000# might be too much for my truck hitch. It doesn't have a rating sticker on it but it is a max tow and from what I can find it should be 13000#??
Is a 1200# ok?
