Look at my hitch set up please....
Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I am a newbie.

Either the coupler needs to be mounted on top or I will need a new hitch system.
There's little sense in modifying the trailer when the simple solution is to switch to a weight distribution system which by it's design offers maximum ground clearance. Here's a pic of an Equal-i-Zer Weight Distribution Hitch mounted on our previous KZ Spree. As you can see there are no chains and the spring bars are straight unlike the "hockey stick" spring bars your current round bar chain WD system uses. There's also no need for a separate friction sway bar as sway control is a function of the design of the Equal-i-zer.
Now, take your hitch and drop the ball mount all the way down to the bottom hole and you'll see almost all of your ground clearance disappear.
Jayco intentionally designed these trailer to sit as low to the ground as possible. I have no idea why they would do that but ground clearance problems with them is not unusual. Apparently Jayco even knew it could be a problem because a 2" lift kit was available as an option.
