How do you know where to mount the acuator in the right place so it tips up nicely and doesn't start bending the metal.

Ah that's where I would need a LOT more information to make a reasonable design - You need to know:
The power available in the actuator,
The weight the trailer will carry
How far you need to lift.
For much of this you will be far better off initially making scale models and trying different positions to get some idea of the forces.
After that you will probably need to build the real thing and then be prepared to experiment.
OR
You could bite the bullet and by ready made plans from someone who has done this OR measure a ready made trailer.
