Congrats on the new rig!!!
Since the total number of chain links on the wd bars can vary a little, it is usually better to state how many links are "under tension" (between the wd bar and snap up bracket).
Once you get the correct shank for your tv and tt, you can begin to set up the wdh.
What type of wdh do you have, a round bar or trunnion bar system?
With the tt unhooked, measure the front fender height of your tv on each side from the ground. Now once the trailer is hooked up, adjust the head angle to return the front fender to the same height, or as close to it as possible. But make sure you keep enough chain links under tension so no part of the bars will hit the trailer frame in a tight turn. Usually 5 links is enough but having a bottom mount coupler you may be able to go to 4 links under tensions. Just make sure nothing will hit the trailer frame!!!
If needed, follow my signature link for the how to set up a wdh.
Good luck and enjoy the new rig!!!
