Hitch fit with lube plate
After installing a lube plate the slide bar operates very hard when sliding over pin collar. Their is essentially no gap between flats on hitch and pin box now and its hard to tell when weight is off ...

I use a lube plate. Thinner plate may be your answer.
I never raise the trailer enough to see any gap between the hitch plate and the pin box plate. When I hitch up I have the pin box plate about 1” below the hitch plate so that the pin box plate rides up onto the hitch plate to ensure proper hitching. And when I unhitch I have the pin box at about that same height so that the pin box slides down that same 1”.
