Tony,

I'm thinking that tongue weight is going to be more like 750Lbs (10% of total trailer weight as tongue weight is the rule-of-thumb I've heard). I will probably be adding a load-leveler/sway control setup if that matters.

In your opinion, is the extra load out back merely a problem of selecting a higher rated airbag for the rears, or does the problem become larger than that?

You kind of lost me on your initial comment about the dropmember...or were you referring to the front StrongArm setup being OK for towing, etc????
