Yes, I will be using w/d bars. I'm going to tinker with the setup tonight. I store my rig offsite, which is why I'm asking about baseline height measurements.
I'm going to start with the hitch maybe 1/2" above the trailer coupler (unhitched). I figure if I'm completely hitched up with the W/D bars and there's only 1" or less of decline (trailer nose down), that should be good enough.
I'm somewhat caught in the middle here. As I mentioned previously, my drop shank will either have to be at the highest DROP setting (the inverted L pointing down), or at the lowest rise setting. If I configure it for the rise setting, then my hitch will be a full 1.5" above the trailer coupler (unhitched). I'm not sure that with the W/D bars, there will be 2" of sag. I'd rather the nose of the trailer point down than point up.
We'll see tonight! Thanks guys.
