The front mounted hitch is the bomb for backing/pushing your trailer
down a long driveway. From what you say your tongue weight is, the front
end's going to squat mighty low. If you don't have a real sharp rise
or dip you may be ok, just go with a real high rise offset bar for your
ball. I've thought about using a wheel under my tongue jack to get more
clearance but I'm afraid of bending the jack post.
