You are asking the wrong questions. If anything it appears your hitch head angle is wrong.

Travel Trailer Hitch Set-up Procedure
One thing I did notice - he has a bottom mount coupler and round bar setup. 7 or 8 links will be all he can get unless he decreases his head tilt any more.
Friend of mine has the same type of setup. He runs with 7 or 8 links under tension like the OP. I personally helped him verify his setup and he is right on the money with his weights.
Unfortunately, most of the time a round bar setup gives the best clearance for the spring bars and such. In this particular case (and my friend's) a trunion style setup would be optimal. Those bottom mount couplers can be a bit of a pain on setup.
