You would need to move the rear axle forward if you wanted to do that, even without the front end these trailers are very front heavy.

Mr Ratwood, if I may offer words of advice, without trying to sound better than you, cos I am not!

When welding panel to panel, try linishing the paint off first. Use a sanding disc on an angle grinder, and your weld will be a lot neater and stronger. You appear to be trying to weld paint, which will contaminate the weld.

Try it, and let's see how you get on.

As I said, only trying to help.
