Went from a Yukon to a Suburban as a tow vehical and the Suburban in higher.
What is the correct angle for a trailer? level, slight tong down, slight tong up???
I am pullling a 20ft single axel Triton. Just wondering if i need to get a bigger drop on my Reece Hitch??
Always any trailer "Level".

Step 1: Measure the hitch height - from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. With the vehicle parked on level ground, measure to the top of the 2" hole on class III and IV hitches, and 2-1/2" hole on class V hitches.
Coupler Height Measurement
Step 2: Measure the Coupler Height - from the ground to the bottom of the trailer's coupler. Make sure the trailer is level, and on level ground.
Step 3: Compute the difference between the hitch height and the coupler height. If the hitch height is greater than the coupler height, the difference is the drop that is required. If the coupler height is greater, the difference is the rise that is required. The ballmount with the rise or drop closest to the difference should then be chosen. For example, if the hitch height equals 24-3/4" and the coupler height equals 17". Because the hitch height is greater, a ballmount with a drop of 7-3/4" would be required for a level trailer. The ballmount with an 8" drop is the closest one offered and would therefore be chosen.
* If the hitch height is greater than the trailer height then
Hitch height - trailer height = DROP
* If the trailer height is greater than the hitch height then
Trailer height - hitch height = RISE
18" is about right. That should get you close if not level.
