You've got to start out with the basics:
1. Measure the height of your front axle wheel wells with nothing attached. Measure from the ground to the top of your wheel well (i.e. 39 1/4"). Call this Measurement 1.
2. Measure the height of your rear axle wheel wells with nothing attached. Measure same as above. Call this Measurement 2.
3. Level your trailer while NOT attached to anything. Put a bubble level gauge on the frame, and adjust front height of trailer until it is level. Now measure from the ground to the inside of the ball hitch. Call this Measurement 3.
4. Adjust the height of the top of the ball of the WDS on the back of the truck to equal that of Measurement 3.
5. Install the WDS onto the truck and trailer.
6. Take another measurement of #1 & #2. Call these Measurements 4 & 5.
7. Now, adjust the WDS so that Measurements 1 & 4 are equal to each other, and Measurements 2 & 5 are equal. See the instructions for the WDS on how to make this adjustment.
