Hitch Ball Height
The proper height will vary according to the weight
you carry and the tires you use. However, checking the
height on your trailer is relatively easy:
1. With trailer on fairly level ground measure from
ground to bottom of frame, front and rear.
2. Adjust front jack until measurements are equal
3. Now measure from ground to the inside top of ball
coupler. This figure is the hitch height. The hitch ball
is then usually set _” to 1” higher, according to the
spring weight of your tow vehicle, to allow for it to
settle when the trailer is hitched up.
