Hitch ball height with Reese Weight Distribution System

Hello. I have a Ford F150 and a Reese WDS with dual cams. According to the installation instructions the hitch ball should be 3/4" - 1" above the coupler when trailer is level. I can't get the number...

Sounds complicated…lol. 
How heavy is that trailer?  Can ya slap some airbags on or helper springs and go?  
so much less bullcheese to deal with unless it’s REALLY heavy tongue weight or tows like a bag of d!cks and needs the sway control.

    It's only a 20 foot Gulfstream about 4000 pounds. Been playing around all weekend with ball height and tilts and got trailer level with 1/4" rise up front and 4 links between yoke and spring bar.
