Equal-i-zer - shank and ball height questions

I have some confusion about leveling.....

I figured out I need additional rise....a shank with additional rise vs the one I have now.

If you start with a truck ball that is at same height as a level trailer coupler (top to top), as soon as you retract coupler jack and put weight on truck, the rear of truck will drop down and front of trailer will also drop down. If weight dist bars spread the load and for trailer to remain level ALL weight would have to be transferred to truck and trailer frame, is this correct?

I know that as soon as I retract coupler jack, all tongue weight is placed on my trucks rear axle and the rear of truck drops down several inches. I would like for my truck to remain as level as possibly... higher in rear if possible. What happens when all of this weight, 1000# plus, is placed on truck.....how is it possible that trailer remains EXACTLY where it was before the jack was ever retracted?

Please excuse my ignorance.
Thanks for your patience and information.

This why you set the ball 1" higher than the coupler of the level trailer on level ground. If your truck settles 2" and the WDH bars bring the rear back up 1", you should be back to level on the trailer. If the tongue weight sits the truck down 4" and the bars bring it back up 2", then set the ball 2" higher than the coupler of the level trailer on level ground.
