10000 lb. GVW Eh? Sounds pretty suspicious. If something were to happen on the road you'll be setting yourself up for a nice lawsuit. I would look into that. Anyway I told all my customers (and I practice this myself), 10-15% of total weight on the tongue. It'll keep the back of the truck planted firmly to the road for braking purposes and incase the trailer starts to sway. I hope you got brakes on both axles, if not, it's only a 3500 lb trailer! Stay Safe, Bill.
