I guess I have to decide weather the 1.5" I'll gain from the new hitch is worth $300. I'm a little concerned lowering the hitch point might cause some bed rail/kingpin clearance. Then if I do rotate the coupler, I might run into cab/nose cone issues. I have decided to trim the fiberglass around the kingpin to give me another inch. That and the spring lift will give me 3 inches closer to level leaving the nose 2 in high.
Again you are not accounting for the fact that the axles are not at the very rear of the trailer. Your gain will be more than you think. Not as much as my little 20' board example, but better than what you are figuring. If you look at the actual distances you could compute it closer. Chris
