If you feel that the truck is sagging to much shift the bike back a little if you can, or if your going to haul it a lot think about a set of coil over shocks, or air bags, or add a leaf to the rear. When you take the bike and turn it around in the trailer your making air go where it may have a bad effect on side covers, windscreens, ect. May leave with a pretty bike, come back with a stripped model! JMO Good Luck!! Nice trailer set up

    I did some more extensive testing today weighing and moving things around a bit. I was able to move the bike back on the trailer 8-1/2inches from its original position without any risk to the rear coming into contact with the closed tailgate.

    I successfully lowered the tongue weight by about 80lbs with that small adjustment.

    The rear of the truck dropped about 1-1/4inches compared to almost 2 inches originally. The front only raised itself 1/4 inch in both scenarios.

    That should do it for now and this type of trip will not be a frequent occurrence.

    Thanks for all the comments.
