Your problem is going to be the sag in the 8ft of tin hanging off the back of your trailer. Weight wise, you're more than fine with the full load on a 16' tandem trailer. Dealing with the length of the tin is going to be your problem. Last edited by abolt300; 08/14/18 04:28 PM.

I was just worried about having too much weight on the back end and it wanting to "fish tail" but i think if I put all the lumber on the front end of the trailer it should be ok.

Or find some extra weight to add to the front of the trailer like a few bags of quikcrete or something don't buy it just something scrape unless you need other items you can use for this.

I also pushed it close to the jack. if you notice the put the wheels towards the back of the trailer to help get more tongue wieght. with all that wood your getting you shouldn't need anymore weight up front.
