Axle location and tongue weight on 4x8 HF trailer

[LDK]

What would be a good axle position for the harbor freight 94564 1740 lb trailer? I plan on mounting the battery on the tongue and I'll have an average size galley. I was thinking about 37 to 38 inches from the back but more input would be appreciated. Also how strong is that particular trailer frame. Thanks guys

I have that frame and slid my axle back 4 inches from the factory position, about half the distance recommended by most builders. I am quite happy with the location I chose. My trailer is 5x10, so door clearance wasn't an issue. My tear is also higher than most, which moves the center of gravity forward a bit.

The nice thing about this frame is that if you don't build out over the wheels it is relatively easy to move the axle after you build it.
