Message	There is not enough tongue weight. The trailer is going to want to fish tail very easily. What I do with mine is put a 4x4 block under the jack, jack it up till the back tires of the truck are nearly off the ground. Chock the front tires of the truck, sometimes when rolling the car on the trailer, it wants to push the truck forward which will in turn push the trailer jack off the block causing some serious damage to a fascia. I have 2 pieces of fiberglass grating, 6 feet long by 1 foot wide by 3.5 inches thick. I over lap the trailer ramps by 1 foot with those fiberglass pieces, works like a charm every time.
