Expert Reply:
If your trailer is sitting nose high it is very possible that the rear tires of the tandem axle trailer will have undue stress put on them which will cause them to fail. Ideally you need to have 6 inches of clearance between the bed rails and the trailer overhang as well as have the trailer sit as level as possible. You can accomplish this by manipulating the height of the hitch head as well as the height of the pin box as it's bolted to the trailer frame.
