Snip... You could actually get a very thin feeler gauge to check it, but I find I can do it by eye. Once you see the space just begin to appear..stop and pull the TV away. I have yet to have the sudden drop that was experienced before I started using this system. Hope this helps.

Another way to tell when all the weight is off the hitch is to put a finger or thumb on that area where the stinger enters the trucks receiver. When you feel movement the hitch is neutral and ready to pull out. Don't worry about pinching a finger as that can't happen since the gap is already closed to begin with and you are feeling for it opening.
