Improved Trailer Leveling

Adjustment helps align trailer ride height front to rear.

Better Weight Distribution

Proper hitch height supports balanced load transfer.

Tow-Setup Awareness

Adjustment considers actual loaded conditions.

Common Problems We Fix

Improper hitch height often leads to handling and wear problems that worsen over time.

Trailer nose-up or nose-down attitude

Incorrect geometry affects braking and tire wear.

Increased sway or instability

Poor alignment amplifies movement while towing.

Uneven axle or suspension loading

Improper height stresses components unevenly.

Premature hitch or coupler wear

Misalignment increases mechanical stress.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Hitch height adjustment sets the correct vertical position of the hitch so the trailer or towed vehicle sits level while towing.
Incorrect hitch height can cause poor handling, uneven tire wear, reduced braking performance, and added stress on the frame and suspension.
Common signs include trailer nose-up or nose-down stance, excessive sway, harsh ride, uneven tire wear, or difficulty steering.
Yes. An unlevel trailer can shift weight improperly, increasing the risk of sway and instability at highway speeds.
Yes. Hitch height adjustment focuses on leveling, while weight distribution systems manage load transfer between axles. Both work together for safe towing.
Yes. Proper leveling helps ensure balanced braking and reduces excessive load on rear axles.
Absolutely. Correct alignment reduces stress on suspension, frame mounts, and hitch components over time.
Yes. Flat towing requires precise hitch alignment to prevent binding, uneven tire wear, and drivetrain stress.
Measurements are taken from the ground to hitch and trailer connection points to ensure a level towing position under load.
Yes. Different trailers have different coupler heights, so hitch adjustment is often required when switching setups.
Most adjustments are completed within a short service visit once measurements and load conditions are verified.
It should be checked when towing a new trailer, after suspension changes, or if handling or ride quality changes.
