OK, so I would want to run some tests circles to figure out how much clearence I have under 100% of conditions, and then kep he boxes contens as light as possible. Is your Delta box where you store your "custom" wheel blocks?
I'm Dave too!,

You just have to be aware of possible issues. Certainly backing up. With your short Beetle wheel base you probably have to be more concerned when trying to do a U turn in a busy Walmart parking lot
I used to store my folding chairs, wheel blocks, fireplace grill, ropes, bungies, propane canisters, tool box and anything else that would fit. However after doing some recent tongue and tear weight measurements I found the tongue was up to 125lbs! PT with manufacturers hitch is rated at 100lbs tongue weight. So to help the situation I know store mainly lighter stuff in the tongue box (along with my newly purchased 5lb propane tank). Light stuff like life jackets, ropes, water floats, tarp and such. The chairs, tool box, axe and such now go in the tow vehicle. It lightens the tongue to about 110lbs (yah whats 15lbs gonna do!!).
