I have the same issue with my extended rear overhand class-C pulling a 20' enclosed. The ULTIMATE (aka. expensive) solution is to use a 'Trailer Toad' (http://www.trailertoad.com/). However I've found if I go up one additional link on my load leveling bars it definitely helps but does not keep it from happening 100% of the time.
Also, due to the extended rear overhang, make sure the rear frame extensions are re-enforced to support the trailer tongue weight. I've seen more than one extended rear class-c break at that point due to a heavy trailer. I re-enforced mine by welding in a 3' section of steel c-channel at the extension joint on both sides.

Any room to run a larger tire on the trailer? You be able to raise the front and keep it level...

Tongue jacks come in different travels. I found one that allowed me to get the pad above the bottom of my MH hitch so no issues even though I have about 15' overhang on my MH. Chuck

how in the world is the toad $3200??????? Doesn't someone make a similiar product for LOTS less? I don't get it. It does look like it would do the trick but the price is unacceptable.
My trailer jack swings up 90 degrees.
