Depends which bolt...think about it ;)
H'mm OK Seems I don't know my up from down..... your right!
After more thought,
On the hangers spring bolt, the hanger bolt is pressing against the spring eye holding up the TT at the 6:00 position. Not the 12:00. So at the hanger the new "worst" position would be the 6:00 spot.
Thanks I'll go back and correct that.
At the Equalizer shackle, Dexter already put the bole in the shackle. You can only pick the hole pointing more towards forward or hole pointing more towards rearward. In this location I flipped each so as the TV pulls the trailer forward the hole was on the non loaded side. You could not pick 12 or 6:00 unless you took the bolt out and on purpose turned it.
Thanks for pointing this out.
