I vote for measuring the tongue weight. This trailer starts at 12% and almost 100% of the storage is WELL in front of the axles. Also measure the rear axle weight and compare to factory spec. That's the only way to know if you have an actual problem or a perceived problem. Perceived problems are up to the driver and their wallet to decide on, actual problems are a safety issue and call for immediate action.
Afidel you raise a good point. I agree the OP has a perceived problem.

Perceived problems are more subjective than a safety issues that must be fixed vs. are an option to fix.
Expectations are a big factor in perceived issues.
