The rear end of the Tow car should sit between 1 and 2 inches LOWER with the loaded trailer attached. Ive towed tandems with cars half way accross the state behind cars with superlow suspension etc and never had a problem stickin to these simple rules

sorry mate you are wrong about that, we had the front tyres hard against front rail with chains front and rear and mates 4x4 F100 sat exactly the same as trailer was neutral weighted (ie.it was lifted the extra inch onto towbar by me with no effort)as xy ute without motor was at least a 150kg heavier in the tray area, the only way your theory would work in this situation was if the trailer was a few feet longer,the reason it made us get speed wobble was no weight on back of f100 at drawbar and extremely bad road that is the Bruce Hiway as both occasions happened when we hit ruts left by trucks which made the trailer bounce lifting the back of the f100 which in turn makes the trailer try and pass the tow car
