Should I add a receiver riser?

Question

Greetings again, forum.I have a 2009 Jeep Wrangler (2-door) that I tow behind my 2008 Forest River class C.  I recently put a 3-inch lift on the Jeep plus larger tires, making the net bumper height increase about 4 inches.  That means the angle of my Blue OX tow bar will be steeper.  Should I worry about that and add a receiver riser to offset the height difference?  Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions.-JB

Measure the distances from the center of the hitch to the ground and from the center of the connecting pin to the ground. The difference between this two measurements should be no more than three inches. Less is better.

(That comes from both Blue Ox and Roadmaster manuals.)
