         8 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 1 , wherein the axle assembly is one of a torsion axle, a spring axle, and an air axle. 
     
     
         9 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 at least one cross beam connected to the first side axle beam, the first attachment beam, the center main beam, the second attachment beam, and the second side axle beam.   
     
     
         10 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one cross beam is connected to the first side axle beam, the first attachment beam, the center main beam, the second attachment beam, and the second side axle beam by nuts and bolts. 
     
     
         11 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment assembly is a clamp. 
     
     
         12 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment assembly is a nut a bolt assembly. 
     
     
         13 . A weight distribution tag trailer comprising:
 a frame assembly having a member insertable into a receiver opening of a receiver hitch assembly and a pair of connector assemblies configured to couple to a cross frame of the receiver hitch;   a pair of wheel assemblies connected to an axle assembly; and   a pair of shims between the frame assembly and the axle assembly.   
     
     
         14 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 13 , wherein the member insertable into the receiver opening of the hitch is a center main beam. 
     
     
         15 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 14 , wherein the frame assembly includes the center main beam, a pair of attachment beams, and a pair of side axle beams wherein the pair of shims is between the pair of side axle beams and the axle assembly. 
     
     
         16 . The weight distribution tag trailer of  claim 15 , wherein the pair of connector assemblies are arranged at ends of the pair of attachment bars. 
     
     
         17 . A weight distribution tag trailer comprising:
 a center main beam configured to insert into a receiver opening of a receiver hitch;   a first attachment beam with a first connector configured to connect the first attachment beam to a cross frame of the receiver hitch;   a second attachment beam with a second connector configured to connect the second attachment beam to the cross frame of the receiver hitch;   a first side axle beam;   a second side axle beam;   a first cross beam connected to the first side axle beam, the first attachment beam, the center main beam, the second attachment beam, and the second side axle beam;   an axle assembly;   a first wheel assembly attached to the axle assembly;   a second wheel assembly attached to the axle assembly;   a first shim between the first side axle beam and the axle assembly; and   a second shim between the second side axle beam and the axle assembly.
