It sounds as if you should re-locate the trailer axle if you still can. Your tongue is very heavy, I tried to get it back around 550. Also, remeber its usally not the trailer that maxs you out but your payload. At a 700 plus tongue most likely you are down to 800 or less in available payload. That 800 lbs has to include the weight of the driver and passengers as well as what is in the truck bed..........
Correction: That was for the 2x4. The FX4 is 1,630lbs so you're correct 800-900 after loading trailer. My bad!
