Trailer Wheel Bearing Issue

Thanks, this is our first race since Topeka the end of July 2017.
The bearing temps ranged from a low of 60 degrees F with a ambient of 34 degrees to a high of 118 degrees F with a ambient of 83 degrees when we made it into Las Vegas.
The tires on the front axle were both at 129 degrees F and on the rear axle they were 120 and 119 when we made it into the traffic nightmare they call Vegas, so I think I may still be a little nose/hitch heavy in the front. The stacker has a attic up front and I have it full. I plan on doing a little house cleaning when we get home and take some of that weight out of the very front.
Thanks for all the input.
