The weight distrubution bars are set too tight. Tilt the adjustable head forward a bit and the "Ass" should come back down.

I thought only Michael Jordon was able to catch air like this. This tow vehicle must have over pumped it's hooves..

That donkey cart reminds of a Class C motor home I once drove - one with a rear kitchen and bath. Too light in the front end, and all over the highway.
