My trailex has the axle set at 66" from the back of the trailer, which is the magic position for a 911 with rear engine. Most other trailers have the axle set forward, because they are designed for a front engined car. So with a 911, you would load the car on backwards. I wouldn't think the tail is that big of a deal, we spin at high speeds all the time and it doesn't come flying up although your experience may vary.

10% tongue weight at the right ball height is your goal- you should be able to roll the car fore and aft a little to get the tongue weight right. Then you use different drawbars to get the ball height correct-- my trailer likes between 19-22".

Good luck!

John, is your trailex a single or tandem axle. I may have an oportunity to have a trailer built for me at a reasonable cost and need dimensions for the builder.

TIA
