Just because the dealer set up the hitch for you does not mean you cannot still experiment with it. The next time you tow, shorten the chains by one link and see if that helps performance. If it does, then the next time you tow, shorten one more. If that makes it better, all is well. If not, take it back down one link.
Just because the rig looks level, might not necessarily be the best "sweet spot" for actual towing. Make small adjustments. And if it doesn't feel right within the first mile, you'll know it immediately! Pull over into the first parking lot you find, and set it back to the previous setting. You'll find what works best for your rig.
Now, if after attempting several changes and there is no improvement anywhere, then you need to start thinking about switching something. That may mean a new hitch system, or it might mean a different tow vehicle. But hopefully, it won't come to that.
Nothing is cast in stone just because the dealer said so.
