sorry, I didn't take the time to scroll back over 3200 posts. Thinking back, I might have posted it.

It's no problem. I actually think it was you. Pictures look the same. Wasn't trying to bed negative but figured I tell you
I'm thinking a couple of rear airbags would just lift the front end higher. Seriously.

Yes agreed - on a serious note it may even get the front tires completely off the ground! I'm impressed that it wasn't doing a wheelie in the picture. Looks like the front axle on the trailer might be helping keep that from happening. BUT - you are correct in that using the bags to lift the rear of the truck and hitch would move the trailer weight fulcrum further back may in fact get the front airborne with all that leverage!
I used this picture on a prior exciting rear ballast/counterweight thread. Almost applicable here.

I saw a trailer like this a couple of years ago, at an auction. The electric brakes were wired using those snap-lock scotch locks. No way passing inspection in my books.

I've bought new trailers wired the same. I fixed them day 1.
