Given more context I hereby withdraw my suggestion to remove rear wheels. (It's actually an advanced move given leaf spring equalizer pivot mechanism.)
Tangent on tongue weight. The ad-hoc 10% rule in the US is less (5-7%) overseas. Hucho's section on caravans touches on tongue weight. One explanation is typical trailer geometry when nose/tail pressure effects are taken into account. Think about it. If surface normals intersect the axle pivot then tongue weight stays constant; whereas with boxy trailers front push and back pull takes weight off the tongue as speed increases.
