I ask because after a few years I finally decided to question the dealers install. Decided to measure and the drop height is 4 3/4" yet the dealer had only put on a 2" drop. I have read a lot and talked to a few "specialist" who conflict each other so much it's crazy. Some Examples
Have it level when traveling...no wait.... level both the trailer and TV then set drop height and not worry about level traveling. Oh...level it from measuring the frame front to back and not use the level.
Measure from top of 2" receiver opening to bottom of hitch...no wait... just the opposite and measure to top of hitch not the bottom. Tilt nose up a little...no wait... tilt down a little.
3" difference sounds like a lot. Trying to decide if if I should bother with a going from a 2" drop to a 5" or not.
Can someone shed some light on this please?

Your trailer should be level to slightly nose down. This is after you have the correct weight transfer to the front axle of your tow vehicle. See the documentation that came with your weight distribution hitch, don't depend on dealers and hearsay.

Makes perfect sense to me, when all else fails, follow instructions.

The TT is only 3000 lbs loaded and therefore I do not have a weight distribution hitch....but have a sway bar control. Tow vehicle is rated to 5000 lbs.

If your tow vehicle sags too much, add air bags or stronger springs. Then get the correct hitch to make the trailer level when connected.

Have an Andersen WDH on the way. While it is costly I went with this one because of my physical limitations as it seem lightweight and easily managed. Thanks for the replies.
