Jack,
Sorry it took me so lomg to get back to you, I've been swamped at work. I measured my trailer, and it is 7" exactly from the front of the crossmember to the back of the winch stand. But now you've got me thinking I may have too much tongue weight. I'm not sure what the correct amount of tongue weight is, whether it is a % of total weight or a specific weight. Hopefully somebody can answer that. All I know is I need to find a scale and weigh both my total weight and the tongue weight.
