Best way to engage WDH
Is there a 'best' way to engage or hook up the WDH chains or does it not make a difference? I have an EAZ lift and have always lowered the tongue onto the ball just slightly to create some pressure on...

That's how I did it with my old EAZ Lift hitch on my old trailer. Put a little pressure on the ball then lifted the snap up brackets. I basically do the same thing with my new Equalizer. In fact, that's what Equalizer recommends. I don't need the pull up bar.
Equalizer's web site says different:
1. Place the Equal-i-zer hitch head and shank into your tow vehicle receiver.
2. Back up to the trailer, lower the trailer onto the hitch ball, and lock the coupler.
3. Insert the spring arms into the hitch, and pin them in place.
4. Use the tongue jack to raise the trailer and tow vehicle until the spring arms are high enough to swing easily into place over the L-brackets.
5. Occasionally you may need to use the included snap-up lever to lift the arms the last inch or so onto the brackets.
6. Pin the arms into place, and retract the tongue jack completely to lower the weight onto the hitch again.
7. Connect everything else (breakaway cable, safety chains, and electrical connections), and you're ready to go.
8. Have fun.
This is exactly how I connect my Equal-I-zer. This makes for an easy stress free job.
