EAZ-LIFT WD bar adjustment

I have an Eaz-Lift WD hitch system. I am trying to obtain the correct adjustment on the hitch but have been having a tough time. With two links hanging free on the WD bars, the rear of the tow vehicle is 1" lower and the front 1/2" higher than without any trailer hooked up. It seems that with more links hanging free the more level the rear becomes---

If you are towing with the 2004 Suburban mentioned in a previous thread,
Chevrolet specifies that the WDH should be adjusted to return the front end as close as possible to its unhitched height.
You probably need to go to three links hanging free.

You don't need to have the WD bars parallel to the A-frame, especially if you have the Ultra model with trunnion sockets for the WD bars.
A better criterion is to have at least five chain links under tension.

---(I had 1 link hanging free at first but the rear sagged even more, but I can't pull anymore links as that is as tight as it gets and I have the hitch lifted up quite a bit to accomplish this. How do I get more links free on the bars? I have heard that if I add washers to the title head angle that might help but I'm not certain if I need to add washers or remove some. Please help.

Adding one washer might also provide the necessary chain tension, but you still need to get the TV/TT high enough to snap up the bars.
It might be simpler to place a bock of wood under the tongue jack in order to raise the TV/TT another inch or two so you can snap up the bars with three links hanging free.
