Most, including myself prefer that the trailer sits level nose to tail when hitched to the truck.



Make sure the you have at least 6" of clearence between the truck and trailer.

The higher you can live with the pinbox the more clearance you will have over the tail gate when hitching/unhitching. As stated above, try to get trailer as level front to back as possible and at least 6" from top of bed rails to trailer. bg
