Measuring Hitch Ball Height
The proper height will vary according to the weight you
carry and the tires you use. However, checking the
height on your trailer is relatively easy:
1 . With trailer parked on fairly level ground, measure
from ground to bottom of frame, front and rear .
2 . Adjust front jack until measurements are equal.
3 . Now, measure from ground to the inside top of ball
coupler. This figure is the hitch height. The hitch
ball is then usually set 1/2 to 1 in. higher, according
to the spring rate of your tow vehicle, to allow for it
to settle when the trailer is hitched up.
