Put the axle dead center on the box, so you can tip it by hand, and rely on whatever you're putting on the nose box to give you your tongue weight.
Or, if you can give me the dimensions of the box, box load, axle location, frame height, and wheel diameter, I think I can calculate how much force we're talking about to tip it up, see if it's realistic.
That's probably what I'll end up doing.
The box will be 4' 6" x 6' with another 2' in front of that for the nose box. Box depth will probably be either 18" or 24" haven't decided yet. Nose box depth will be half of whatever the sides of the main box are. Axle location will (now) be centered on the main box. Tire diameter will be 33". Not sure what you mean about frame height. Is that frame to ground or frame to axle? Box load... I don't think I will ever have more than 1000 lbs evenly distributed in it. Maybe 1500 lbs. max
