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...

Installing that equalizer caused your trailer to sit lower so you are now more nose high than before.......
Do you have enough bedrail clearance to lower nose of trailer?
Lowering the hitch will be easiest.....raising pin box is heavy/awkward and requires lifting it up into place.
With a helping hand......either
But do you have the bedrail clearance?????
Good advice, suggestions and info.......
However *if* you need to raise the pin box - even "with (or without) a helping hand", the hitch needs to be "suspended" for positioning while loosening / tightening the bolts.
It can be *easily* done with a hydraulic lifting table.
(HF or auto supply stores)
When I did mine (by myself), I borrowed same from a neighbor - used blocks on the table to gain the necessary height.
Handy item for lots of jobs - liked it well enough to purchase one..;)
