Need Urgent help WDH setup question

[ronheater70]

At this point the trailer is reading level (doesn't look it because of the driveway) But the Level says it is center dot.. The truck measurement from ground to center of top fender measured 41 " unloaded..Connected it measures 41" on the dot still However you see my bars are not level.. I think I may need to rotate the ball forward a bit and maybe go up a link on my chains.. thoughts? This hitch does not use washers, it has grooved spacers that hold it.
I only have a little bit of time to get it set up so thoughts appreciated asap!!





Actually I'm looking at a youtube video of the same reese hitch with the "trunion bars?" setup (not sure if I spelled that right) and they aren't level either, So I may be good?

Could your sway bars be set in upside down? Hard to tell.

Do you have auto-leveling rear suspension? That might be the culprit?

You don't really want level unless the drive is level, you want parallel to the ground.
Is that measurement front fender/bumper or rear? Front hieght is the concern, you want to recover at least half of the gain from hooking up with out the bars.

Do you possibly have auto leveling on the truck? If so scales are the only way to tell.

Well 2 problems, 1, the coupler hadn't settled down on the ball, once it did that and I hooked up the bars I LOST 1/2" on the front.. I rotated the hitch back one groove, and now my bars are look much better and I am exactly 41" again at the front.. So I started at 41 unloaded, and I am now 41 (or within a frogs hair) loaded and ready to go.. I feel pretty good. Im going to take it on a test run next sunday before my big camping trip the following week.. Thanks for the quick responses, BTW, that video is my exact hitch!

As long as the back is not higher than without the trailer it sounds​good
