For that load, would have been better to back the truck on the trailer, to help center the weight over the trailer axles to lessen tongue weight

Agreed. Put it on back. Most of the weight is on the tongue.

Can't you add a weight distributing hitch to that setup?

What was the tongue weight? If the load on the trailer is not in the right place, it is very easy to exceed the max rear axle capacity on the towing vehicle.

If op would pull the Ramps off the trailer and trow them in the bed of the truck and roll the truck father back so the rear tires are 12-18 inches from the back it probably be a lot better. A agree that backwards may not be the best answer nose heavy is A lot better than tail heavy.

Looking at that pic, the engine weight would have been directly over the trailer axles since you can back the rear bumper way forward of the actual trailer deck and still have enough room for turning....put the trucks' rear tires as far forward as possible to get the trailer settled better.

You could also put the ramps in the truck bed to move even more weight as you said.

I'd have at least tried it to see. That trailer was way to nose heavy for me.
