For reasons related to the slope of my driveway, I have had installed a lift on my Trailmanor that I have not yet picked up. In talking with the BlueOx people on my issues with the hitch scrapping when I left my driveway (why I got the lift kit), they said the ball on the hitch should be 2 inches above the trailer ball hitch when the trailer is perfectly level. I would suggest you check that to see if it meets that measurement. The people who answer the phone at BlueOx are very supportive so I would highly recommend that you chat with them as well to get the best info.
Because I lifted the trailer 2.5 inches, that has allowed me to flip the BlueOx ball hitch holder (or what ever it is called) to the "normal" position that now gives me 6 more inches of clearance so I hope my dragging issues will be resolved.
When installing the hitch i measured front and back of trailer to make sure it was level. I then measured to the top of the trailer ball hitch and then made the ball hitch on the truck 2 inches above that. I believe the trailer ball was 16 and I made the truck one 18.
Also don't know if it matters but the trailer is not fully loaded yet so the stuff we put in front of trailer could bring front end down a bit.
