Just FWIW, I set up my very similar Equalizer 4 point from the perspective of hitching and unhitching. I set ball height first to .5" above coupler height with the trailer level. Then adjusted the head tilt to run the bars out level with upward hand pressure. I then set the coupler on the ball and raised the tongue until I just had upward pressure on the hitch receiver. Then I set the L brackets so the spring bars could be slid onto the L brackets without the use of the cheater bar. With the tongue jack up, this brought the front of the truck back down a little over half of the .5" rise it had without the bars. The rear settles 1.5" with the bars on. This works well for us as hitching and unhitching isn't always on level ground and it gives some room to raise the tongue a little more if needed to get the bars on or off. I'm all about making things easier and less complicated. Just a thought...
