Hey Vernon,
The best way to reduce tongue weight if you have to much is using a weight distribution system like # C95MJ. This system is going to evenly distribute the weight between the trailer and the towing vehicle taking stress off of the rear axle of your vehicle. This is the best way to get that trailer tongue weight lower and reduce the sag on your tow vehicle.
Let me know what kind of trailer you are towing with what vehicle and I can find the best system for your setup.
