Look at my hitch set up please....

Thanks....I guess the pic posted. None of you see a problem with the spring bars being so low to the ground? I scrape so much with them like that. I lift the truck so high as it is just to get the second link hooked up there is no way I would be able to get any more chain links connected. I am 110 lb female hitching up, and the tension is just too much for me.

There are numerous YouTube videos that illustrate the proper way to set up a weight distribution hitch. Additionally, the manufacturer of your particular hitch has extensive instructions on their web site and a phone number for assistance. You need to read and go thru those steps.

As others have said, there are a few things in question from the pic you posted. The spring bars appear to not be parallel with the trailer frame and the chain brackets appear to be too far rearward. It's a little difficult to tell for sure just from the picture. I suspect, because of that under slung type coupler, that you will have a few more chain links than most and your spring bars will hang lower than most due to the fact you need so much drop on the receiver.

You really need to go to a level spot, get out the directions for your hitch, do all the measurements and set up things properly. Lifting the rear of the truck with the tongue jack will not cause a problem and will aid in connecting the chains and tensioning the spring bars when everything is properly set up.
