Better to lower hitch or raise pin box?

I just installed an EasyFlex equalizer and noticed I lost an inch or so of height, it was a tad lower in the rear before the install so this extra inch is a bit too much.

I can either raise the pin box or lower the hitch.

What do recommend?

What are their advantages and disadvantages of each method?

And of course what's the easiest?, I'm thinking lowering the hitch would be the easiest, let gravity help me out.

I'm confused about your initial post. What you are saying is that the REAR of your trailer is now HIGHER than it was before the Easy Flex install, which means that the FRONT of your trailer would now be LOWER. If so, and based on your measurements, I would leave it alone, as it sounds like you have an almost perfect setup. If I'm reading your post wrong, then I apologize and you can again refer to all the other helpful posts.

After the install the rear of the camper is now an inch lower, since it was a bit lower prior its time to adjust it and get it more level.

The funny thing about the installation was the fact that none of the links or bushings where worn! I have pulled this camper about 25k and thought for sure that they would be. After reading all the horror stories about then plastic bushings worn to a nub and shackles with elongated holes, they where for the most part serviceable.

I'm guessing the shock absorption capabilities of the EasyFlex will make it worthwhile.

I don't have any adjusting holes on the spring hangers by the way,sure wish I did.
