If that trailer has a 6000 lb axle you really don't need a tandem axle trailer the trick is when loaded the hitch of the trailer should be a little lower than the back of the trailer and always load the tractor so more weight is towards the front or the trailer.
Thanks for the pointers tat2z, they certainly help
I just hooked a brake controler (Tekonsha sentinel) to the truck so I can take advantage of the electrical brakes on the trailer too. It makes a *huge* difference since the controler activates the brakes based on the inertia of the vehicle!
