Hello, I recently purchased a 22' Sun Valley Apache TT. TV is a 92 Chevy silverado SWB. when I hook it up the TV sags LOW. So I went and purchased an EAZLIFT Round bar WD Hitch(used). Im having some trouble hooking it up correctly or what I assume is correctly. I will include pics to show what I am having a dilemma on.

First Due to the welded angle brackets for the propane tanks, I cannot position the chains vertical, they are angled towards the back. Is this OK?

Second should the Bars be parallel with trailer frame?mine Hooked up as seen in pics seem to be angled up. The rear of the TV is an inch lower than unhooked and a 1/2 inch higher at the front bumper.

I am heading out on a trip this coming Friday. just want to make sure I have it hooked up right and safe. Thanks in advance

"when I hook it up the TV sags LOW."

WD hitch and bars isn't going to solve this issue. Your 25/26 year old truck is the problem. No 1500 truck should sag LOW when the tongue of a 22 foot TT is attached.

Modify the brackets as needed to get the chains vertical. The bars should be level when finished, adjust hitch angle or height as necessary. Ignor the rear TV height and adjust bar tension to bring the front back by 1/2 to all of the change. If the rear sags too much, that would be corrected with the springs or other added suspension support.

You can probably find a set of instructions for your particular hitch on line, maybe on E-Trailer, or You Tube.
