Hi, Let me apologize in advance if this topic has already been covered in depth over the years, but I searched the archives and could not find exactly what I needed. On my vehicle I need a drop ball mount to be able to tow my M15 with the trailer reasonably level. I'd like to minimize the amount of drop in the hitch ball mount so the question is: Does the trailer need to be level or is it ok if the hitch is 1 or 2 inches higher than the level position? Seems like you would want to leave some play for loading. Currently my hitch ball raises the very front of the trailer about 4.5 inches above the level position, which is way too high. My trailer dolly will barely crank high enough to get the trailer on the hitch. Any advice or comments? Thanks, Hank
