Unless, of course, you've actually seen it happen.With the flange on the pin under the jaws, where it will be when the hitch is properly locked, the bottom of the trailer is flush with the hitch. So if the flange of the pin is sitting 2 inches up, on top of the jaws, how is there not 2 inches of space under the bottom of the trailer. Not hard to understand, but seems like you might be having an issue with it.
Simply because the jaws are below the surface of the hitch plate. There may be a gap between the top plate and the bottom of the pin box but it won't be two inches. The ones I've seen the hitch was still tilted down some what in the rear causing no gap in front and bigger gap in the rear. From the drivers seat the operator can see no gap between the bottom of the pin box and hitch plate surface. The hitch (any brand) in this case is high pinned or high hitched.
Its apparent you have never had a high pin event or seen one. Once you have one or see them you also will understand what they look like and how it happened and why many folks that don't do a visual can face a dropped trailer from being high pinned/high hitched.
