I think it's typically at the top or bottom setting. Someone might want a middle setting if they had the smaller tires but wanted a bit more ground clearance on the sewer drain, etc., but didn't...

The entire frame would change height, and the tires could change it further. The only thing that wouldn't change from a height adjustment would be the axle ground clearance--but it could change with...

Or maybe find someone with your same tow vehicle. But don't the 2108s come in two different heights?

Sorry, my trailer is in storage, but I think you also need to measure the height from your receiver to the hitch, so I suspect you'll need to go to your trailer.

Some trucks will squat a lot in the back, so it would probably be impossible to level those. I would also wonder how much force you'd be putting on the frame and hitch receiver even on vehicles that...

Their video just says 4 turns from the point where the slack is gone, which is sort of odd because that would depend on how high you had the tongue jacked up, but maybe they address that earlier in...

Your front wheel wells should not be below the unloaded weight. Scale back on how much you're adjusting the WDH.

That I will agree with. I just don't see a Unibody SUV pulling that trailer very well or very safely.

I know tow ratings were supposed to level the playing field by standardizing the...

Here are tow calculations from towcalculator.com. I put in some vehicle weights for a truck which can basically pull 5,000 pounds, both due to tow rating and GCWR. I used two 4,500 pound trailers...

Yes it does! What are you going to fill a 4,000 trailer with to get it to weigh 7,000 pounds. It would be virtually impossible. You're penalizing a trailer with a stronger frame for absolutely no...

Just to give you some idea of the numbers you need to look at, my truck has several weight limits.

First there is Max Tow Rating. Mine is 7,700. This is a BS number designed to sell vehicles. ...

I would disagree. The Micro Minnies have a strong frame and tandem axles, so they most all have 7,000 pound ratings, even though some weigh under 4,000. A similar trailer might have a much lower...

That might be a bit much of a trailer for Highlander. I'm not familar with all its specs, but don't just go by tow rating, there are other specs.

Also, can you use a WDH on a Highlander? ...
