Thank you BarneyS for this very complete information. In fact when I slide the torsion bars on the L-bracket I keep my trailer tongue jack on the floor, but even with everything's up, the bars are pretty easy to slide on the brackets. The former owner loose the instructions and spares washers, but at least he got the hook pry bar coming with the Equal-i-zer.
I would say the weight transfer is pretty small since the bars are easy to slide on when everything is leveled up (if the trailer or the van is not on a flat surface the bars are header to slide on, but when everything is on a flat surface, it's pretty easy!
I'm gonna start by adding two more washers since I'm at 6 washers now. I don't know how the angle will be different with two more washers, but I'm gonna try this first.
Otherwise raising the L-brackets will not keep the torsions bars parallel with the trailer tongue I think, if I raise the brackets from a hole the bars will be slightly higher on the trailer's side than the vehicle side. It's my opinion at the first look, but maybe it's a matter of perspective.
