Question:
does the axle placement 60/40 include the tounge of the trailer also? like example the whole lenght of the trailer. or just the deck? please get back to me.

Expert Reply:
The 60/40 axle placement formula is a great starting point and does take into account the tongue of the trailer from where the trailer sits on the hitch ball. Please keep in mind that this is a very basic formula or estimate for axle placement.
For a much more accurate way to determine the correct axle placement for your trailer, take a look at the formula that I have included for you. This formula also takes the length of the trailer tongue into consideration.
