[VAL] Re: torsion bars

[Chris Koehn <timberguides@xxxxxxxxx>]

We spent a fair amount of time messing with our '79 @ 31' A/S and the 
new red arrow hitch. By parking on a level paved surface, and carefully 
checking for level (by measuring from pavement to a consistent surface 
front and back as well as checking with a 6' level on the floor). It 
was decided that 19 1/2" to the trailer's hitch off the pavement was 
just right. The ball and receiver on the truck was then adjusted to 
match the trailer. If the hitch's torsion bars are properly adjusted, 
the heights and levelness should remain consistent before and after 
hooking up.
19 1/2" seems to be pretty consistent with full size A/S trailers of 
our vintage.

Best,
