So this is the the new truck and trailer all hooked up, equalizers on, no water in the front (100l tank)

So should I lower the ball one more notch on the hitch or leave it.

Anything in the toy hauler portion in this photo? That will put less tongue weight on the hitch with more weight behind the wheels. I bet your truck would squat less with it down another notch or two to let the equalizer bars work more. I personally would lower it and get it setup close to perfect. But everyone tows slightly different so it's up to you.
Can't copy and paste pics on my iPhone but here's my smaller setup I went with this year. It's a 22 foot overall length trailer with atv trailer tagging along behind. Had a 30 footer before this. Think I'll be switching to a 26 footer in the next year or so. Hitch bars aren't hooked up as I was just running to the car wash but it's damn near perfectly level when they are attached.

Nothing in the toy hauler portion either right now. I'll lower it one more then see where it sits. Thanks for the input.

I would load it up as how you are normally going to use the trailer and then set it up and see how it does, 1000lbs behind the axles will make noticeable difference on the hitch.
