Tongue height

We just got a new tow rig. I’m setting the hitch highthand I’m not sure we’re it should be. Right now I have the truck level, the truck tongue is level, and the back bumper is level. Is this good or do I need to drop the tongue an inch or 2?

Usually you want to back the truck up to the trailer, Don't hook up. But have the trailer level. Set the ball at least ONE inch higher than the trailer coupler. (Make sure the trailer is level).
Then hook up, and adjust the weight carrying bar to the point that the front of the truck comes back down to with in 1/2 inch of the height it was before you hooked up. IF you get the front right. The back usually takes care of itself. Just make sure the back of the truck is NO HIGHER than it was unhooked..

BTW. the trailer needs to be level after you hook up as well. Nose up, or nose down can cause a poor towing experience, AND cause the axles / tires to carry more weight than the other, and could cause tire failure.
