It will sag when you put any weight in. How much sag matters is the question. I can tell you five wheels with tires is enough for it to sit noticeably lower and that’s not a ton of weight. I put a snowmobile that’s maybe 450ish pounds in the back and that’s fine but squatted about as much as I’d want.

It makes a difference whether the weight is in front or behind the rear axle. Behind, weight is transferred from the front and load on the axle, and the rear springs, is higher than the weight. Worst case is trailer tongue weight. In front of the rear axle, some of the weight is shared by the front axle and springs and the load on the rear springs is less.
