Eaz Lift WDH question?

I just purchased a 2011 28bhs and the dealer included a (brand new) eaz lift elite wdh. They installed the hitch and done the initial set up. After loading the TT and the TV I took measurements and thought I needed to do some adjusting as I had a rise of 1.5" in the front.
I have read all about properly setting up a wdh and I think I've got it figured out. Now to my question. All the instructions show using a rivet and washers to adjust the ball angle. My wdh does not have washers instead it has threaded bolt. So my question is am I supposed to have washers and the dealership left them off or is this new design?
Eaz lift website was no help as it shows the rivet and washers.

Any help would be appreciated.

    i"m not sure what the newest thing is with the Eaz left system but if what you have allows you to tilt the hitchhead forward and backward then it's working OK. No REASON it can't be a threaded bolt but all the ones I've used were washers. The only down side to using the Eaz lift is that you'll need a couple of friction bars to control sway and they're not the MOST efficient means of doing it. There IS one other item to check into. Beside preperly being adjusted it FIRST must be the correct SIZE (spring bar strength). they SHOULD be sized for 15% of your trailers GVWR (as close as possible to that strength without being less than that number).
    Good luck / Skip
