Most hitch setups require the head to be at somewhat of an angle before the bars are tensioned. How much is determined by:

2. Amount of tension required on chains/bars to get desired WD
3. Type of bars - round or trunnion style
4. Size/weight of bars
5. Where coupler is located on A frame - top, middle, or bottom.
I may have forgotten another requirement or two. :)
