If you don't want the WD hitch to be the lowest point you can't run a WD hitch. Even the equal-i-zer brand will hang down some at the shank.
Not necessarily true... If the trailer rides higher than the tow vehicle, to the point that the drawbar shank needs to be flipped to raise the hitch head, the lowest part of the setup could certainly be the hitch shank, not the spring bars. I'm thinking maybe a combination like an E150 with a relatively tall travel trailer that has the coupler mounted over top of the frame rails might make the combination set up like this:

Admittedly, that's not usually the standard orientation of the shank as it seems most rigs need a drop not a rise, but it's possible some setups may need to be that way.
At the rear ends of the bars, those will probably still be the lowest point, save for the tongue jack foot on most trailers.
