Thanks for all your responses. It is a top mount. I was told or read some time ago that the last link shouldn't be used. Never questioned as to why, but I guess I can put that myth to rest since most of you are puzzled over that statement. I'll use the last link to see if there is any difference in the ride with one link less tension. Then, if necessary, see what I can learn about the tilt. I see Barney has a post
about hitching up with videos etc. Need more time to sift through that.
Then again, maybe there is nothing wrong. Just thought that there was too much tension when I used the electric jack to raise the tongue and cheat while attaching the chain link.
