Is it more important to have my tandem trailer level, or more important to have trailer fender gaps between front and rear tires be even?
If I level my trailer I seem to have more gap above front tires than back tires. So, I've always towed with my nose lower to try to even out the tire gap. However, I've heard that towing level makes for a better ride. Over bumps, dips, etc. I noticed that both my Suburban and new Sierra 1500 Denali both get "pulled" a bit by the boat, so it has me wondering if that's because I am tilted downward in front. When attached to tow vehicle, I measure AT LEAST a 4" lower height difference in front of trailer, measuring from ground to the tongue and the ground to side rail of trailer furthest back.
I currently run a 2" drop hitch on my Sierra, and the gap is slightly less over front tires than rear. I have a 0" drop hitch that I use on my Suburban because the hitch is lower. Since they don't seem to make a 1" drop hitch I can try, if I try the 0" drop hitch on my Sierra, and I get a more level trailer, but gap is larger over front wheels, is that OK?
Thank you in advance for any thoughts.
