I moved it all the way forward (same on the trailer) to go into Queens. I don't know how much it helped, but a few more inches on both ends wouldn't hurt.

How do you adjust the trailer tandems?

Flat ground to start. There's a bar near the trailer axles (either just in front or right in the middle) and you move it from the locked position into the unlocked position. This occasionally can take considerable strength. The lever pulls pins in four places near each set of tires toward the inside. On the trailer frame rails there are a series of holes. On the trailer axle assembly, there are 4 holes that line up with the frame rail holes. (See the pic)
A sticky lever must often be 'tickled' to release the pins. Either with a second person pulling the lever while slightly moving the truck forward or backward. If you're alone, you'll have to figure out how to release the bind that the pins are under. Slightly moving the trailer worked for me.
