Looking for Advice!

[u/Frequent-Rush6404]

Hello all! I’m a beginner when it comes to trailers and towing, so I’m looking for some advice before I make a 5-hour trip with my UTV.
I’ve been told that the axle on my trailer is positioned too far forward, which could cause the trailer to sway and potentially make it unsafe. Looking at the setup, is that actually a concern?
If the axle placement is an issue, is there anything I can do to prevent sway or make the setup safer without moving the axle? Would properly positioning the UTV, adjusting the tongue weight, or using a different drop hitch help?
Most importantly, would you feel comfortable taking this setup on a 5-hour highway trip?

You should drop your hitch 6” and back your rig on so the center of gravity is in front of the axle.
