Clarification on hitch mount

To clarify the information on the "spacers" for the TrailerSaver. This portion of the hitch assembly is a required base assembly and is not an extra. It comes in two heights -- 2" and 3". Beachgirl will require the 3" version as a minimum due to the height of the bed rails in the Chevy. Even the 3" height will provide only minimum clearance for the trailer.

With regard to the trailer not being level when hitched with this combination you can't fix this at the hitch. It may be necessary to alter the spring mounts or otherwise raise the trailer at the axle to attain the level conditon. The entire rig should be considered when installing the hitch. A good installer will be able to optimize the final installation. TrailAir Service in Goshen, IN (800) 998-4238 may be able to provide info on how to reconfigure the axle mounting for this purpose.
