    Here's a quick video on what can happen when you have an unbalanced trailer.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mW_gzdh6to

    I pull my 2018 outback with a 2015 Acadia, 3.6ltr 6 cyl rated at #5000 towing. It tows just fine but going thru the Bluetooth mountains I was crawling. I'm going to get a Tab400 and even though I'm within the tow limit of the 400, I'm going to upgrade the TV. I think its a good idea to stay within 60%  or so of the TV rating vs trailer weight. Guess it depends on where you go. Maybe I'm being overcautious.

      If you lift the front end due to too much tongue weight it reduces steering ability among other ills.  
    It depends on the kit. AEV offers a nice geometry correction kit that actually improved the steering ability on my JKU. I had an AEV 2.5" lift to compensate for my RTT and roof rack.
