[A/S] towing problems- check hitch height
Check your hitch height. the hitch height for your trailer and your
friends, is 18 3/4". this is measured on level ground from the
ground to the top of the ball. Then set your trailer on the ball and
when you pull the chains up, it should measure close to 18 3/4" and
never over that. When set up properly, your tow truck and trailer
should sit level. Equalizing the weight all around. this should take
the bounce out. Chances are your old trailer had a higher hitch
height. I hope this helps. Richard in Southwest Ohio.
