My trailer knowledge is limited, but it seems odd to me that the rear axle is carrying more weight than the front. On tag-a-long trailers the general rule is 10% of the total trailer weight on the ball. That would suggest the front axle have a (heavier) weight bias (since the desired center of gravity of the trailer is forward of the center of the two axles). Is the trailer level, or is it "nose high"? If it's level I wouldn't worry about it. Is it possible the two axels have different spring rates?
Good luck and have fun.
