Hitch up or down?

I have a center line hitch. I bought a new Microlite and when all connected it appears to me to be a little high a the hitch end. So I tried adjusting the height. Well I wanted to lower the ball about 1 1/2 inches. Adjustment has about a 3 1/2 hole in it. So I can either leave it as is or lower it 3 1/4 inches.

So opinions please, what is better, going down the road a little tilted to the back, or a little tilted to the front?

If you have too a little to the front is better than nose high.

Nose high is bad. Contributes to sway.

I'd get the proper height drop hitch ASAP. In the mean time, don't tow nose up!
