Hitch set up help
Hi everyone. Hoping for some clarification, guidance and ultimately some peace of mind on my hitch set up. I've read the set up procedure but seem to be running into a few problems. 2011 Ford Exp...

Another update (hopefully my last).
I rechecked everything today and tried the 5 links.
Results:
Unhitched-Front=36"
-Back= 36 1/16"
6 Links -Front=36 2 maybe 3/16
-Back= 34 10/16
5 Links -Front= Just under 36"
-Back= 34 13/16
Pics-

Trailer angle with 6 Links
Level with 6 links
Now of course my next question is going to be if the nose is too far down on the trailer. It seems to be down more than I remember the other day...and looks like too much from my pic (at least in my opinion). However...I do think my driveway slope makes it seem a bit more than it might really be.
I'm not sure if I can move the hitch up again without making it at least 1" above the trailer before hookup.
What do you think?
