Interesting about the weight shift during braking. Hopefully we are talking about the trailer suspension equalizer and not a hitch equalizer. Not sure I understand how the brake event cause the weight "lift" in the equalizer of the suspension. My thinking was that it would reduce / slightly lift the rear axle.
I am also wondering if there would be any affect on tongue weights with the larger tires moved to the forward axle.
The .7" taller tire actually will be 3/8" difference at the suspension level and have little to non effect on axle weights.
Most flat spotting is normally on the trailers front axle from hard braking events with good brakes on the trailer. Some folks set their brake controller with lots of gain which applies brake power with a slam on the suspension.
