WDH set up help needed
Yes, I've read the stickies, multiple times. I have a Reese hitch. My vehicle instructions say to return the front bumper to unhitched height. Unhitched measurements: front bumper 17 7/8 Front ...

The TV measurements look good to me but the trailer is too high in front by 5/8 or so. If I drop the head to the bottom hole, then I don't have enough tilt adjustment to get the ends of the spring bars to the correct height according to the hitch instructions. So now what?
I have another hole I can drop on my current shank. I am out of tilt on the head. Reese says my spring bar ends should be 9.5 inches from the ground. If I drop down to the bottom hole, I can not get 9.5 inches of clearance.
I cannot reduce the tilt of the head as it is already fully forward (toward the TV).If 1) the head is fully forward and
2) you can't lower the ball mount to eliminate the TT's nose-up attitude without violating the 9.5" "clearance specification", then
3) there obviously is something wrong with the "clearance specification".
If it's okay for other other COUPLER HEIGHT and COUPLER STYLE combintions to have "SPRING BAR HEIGHT (Y)" values as low as 4.5", I see no reason for you to have to stick with the 9.5" value.
Forget about the 9.5",
drop the ball mount to get the tongue level or below level,
and then reduce the number of links between u-bolt and hook as needed to get desired load transfer.
IMO, you're placing far too much emphasis on the 9.5" "specification".
