Is there a grain scale nearby that weighs in 3 sections? If so ,if it were me I'd arrange a time when convenient with the scale people to weigh the trailer with the rear of the frame supported with jackstands on one pad and front of the tongue supported on the other . Then calculate how far back the axles would need moved to get you 10 percent on the tongue. I;m betting it would maybe only need a few inches. Can the wheel wells/fender be modded to look right . You are pretty handy after all.
Yes it was amusing, put a smile one my face
The only thing local is a cat scale. There is a coop nearby but they weren't willing to let me weigh the tru k and camper l, a while back. I did order. Weigh safe hitch so I can weigh tongue weight. My thought was to run to the cat scale empty and then measure tongue weight. If I have a base weight then I can see what the rail pulled in vs ba ked in does. Backed In is just a pain in the ass. But.....it is my theory that if the winch is well maintained that ill be just fine
As far as wheel wells go, there are none, I ordered this one with out skirting which means no wheel wells. Wouldn't be that hard to move the axles....in the grand scheme of things. Looks like scotts rail will have to be backed in to fit. Might need a better winch!
