Your front wheel well measurement is now 1/4 inch higher than when you started, that is within the acceptable range so you should be good to go as long as the trailer is at it’s fully loaded, ready to go camping weight. Did you take it for a drive to see how it feels? That will be the final test.

Just be aware of clearance issues with that shank now if entering or leaving steep angled entrances.

Impossible to do on my GeoPro. Chains are not long enough. I have read this before though.

WRVOND and W5CRE, the chain issue has been discussed at length, many times. Take a closer look at the picture. These trailers and my 21SS are impossible to cross the chains. The manufacturer chose to affix them to a single loop at the tip of the frame beneath the coupler. Any attempt to cross them only results in twisting them like a bread tie. Trailers are not all built the same way.Click image for larger version

Ahhh, I knew there was a reason they wouldn't cross. I thought it was the length. Thanks Keystoner.

It appears thatthe angle may be wrong on the hitch.Change that and you should be ok.

They are correct. Crossed over under the coupler.

A small amount nose down is far better than slightly nose up which encourages sway.
