Looking for any tricks for getting the upper coupler plate the right height for hitching up. Currently doing it by myself I eyeball it after dropping the tailgate, back in some then get out of the truck when I think I'm close and readjust. Not rocket science, but any way I can save getting out and rechecking would be appreciated.
Usually the way I do it. (shrug) Just make sure you're 1-2" below the hitch plate so the pin rides up the hitch, forcing the truck down. Helps to prevent high-hitching.
