I have my WDH adjusted to the lowest setting and the front of the trailer is still 2" higher than the rear. Does this really matter? It pulls fine but I just want to be sure.....

Thanks in advance...

I'd invest in a longer bar to get it down level. The ball needs to be level or not over 1/2 inch high for the trailer, then sinch up the equalizer bars to level. For best handeling you need to through a little wt. on the ft of the truck. Also you need bars that are rated 2-300 lb. MORE then tongue wt. ( If your tongue wt. is 500lb you need 750lb. bars.) Tongue wt. 900 lb you need 1200 lb. bars. Happy towing

Thank you....

Traveling with trailer nose high;

throws more weight to the rear, which lightens up tongue weight creating handling (sway) problems.

on trailers with independant torsion suspension, will throw more weight on rear tires, creating overweight tire blowout problems.

lower MPG's because the trailer is scooping the air coming from under the truck.

everything packed inside trailer tends to move rearward while traveling. open rear doors, and stuff falls out on top of you!

Get yourself a longer 'drop hitch' to mount the ball on, to get the trailer to ride even front to rear.

On my 4x4 truck when empty, it needs a 6 in. drop hitch to get the trailer to ride level.
With the camper loaded on the truck, it only requires a 4 in. drop to get trailer level.
I've got BOTH hitches on hand to use!

Thanks Roadranger, that's exactly what I did. I had a 12" drop hitch adapter and I looked at buying a new 6" one but man they want a lot of money for them! I ended up spending $65.00 for a good welding shop to cut mine down to 6" and it is perfect now. I pulled the trailer about 20 miles the way it was and I just didn't like the nose being up higher than the rear. I haven't used it yet but I'm sure it will be right now...
