Hey m2kamp, what holes do you have your L brackets set to? From this photo is looks like your brackets are much lower than mine. I currently have my L brackets mounted using the center-most holes.

I installed the 2.5" class V shank on its lowest setting but haven't had a chance to tow the trailer yet. I also took out one washer as the dealer had all six in.
