Toad higher or lower than RV and 5K or 10K capicty riser?

My Jeep toad is 5" higher than the new RV. The 5K riser is either 4" or 6" and the 10K is either a 3" or 7". I called Blue Ox and tech support said that they didn't care if the toad was an inch or two...

The Jeep's end should be lower than the RV's end. That way, in an emergency stop, the tow bar won't be lifting the Jeep's nose, and front wheels, off the ground.

If the Jeep is 5700 pounds, the 5k bar is insufficient.


I bet there are a few engineers wondering how you figure that is good advice.
