Looks like your fun could be a little better if you drop at least one more link on your chains as the front of the trailer is dipping low. It will pull a lot better if you level it. This will also put a little more weight on the front wheels and remove some from the rear wheels of the truck. I am assuming that the street is close to level.

It does look like the nose of the truck is pointing skyward a little. One (maybe 2) links SHOULD take care of the problem. FINE lookin' rig!!!

Awesome pic. Looks great. I agree with Bud. Play around with the links a little and see if you can level her out some more.

We had it set up perfectly before I bought the trailer. I dropped a link because the bars were above horizontal. You guys are right, it doesn't handle the way it did before, it makes a huge difference! What I have to do is put one or two shims in, and keep it on the link it's on. That should make it right.

I wouldn't worry about the bars being level, but when the trailer/truck combo is level, you are fine. When I towed a pull-behind, I nenver worried about the bars themselves. When it pulls right, it's great! You can sure tell by the lack of sway.
