I worried with this with our first F150/20' TT combo. I finally decided that I'd bring the front back to it's unloaded height and let the rear of the truck settle 3~". This brought the truck to about a level stance and the trailer sat level. Great big ol' hitch sticking way out the back and the ball was about level with the receiver. I found a straight welded short shank trunion style WDH at the flea market and bought it. Perfect fit. After a couple of trips, I decided it didn't even need the spring bars. I towed it with the short ball mount and no bars for about five years. I have a feeling we'll be going through the same process with my F250 and a potential 30' Jayco in our near future. I've seen some 30~'ers towed by HD pickups on the ball alone. Should need very little help if any from the WDH if the TV is adequate and the trailer is weighted correctly.
I don't see what you're towing or what you're towing it with.
