This is our first trailer. Need advice. We're setting up a Blue Ox SwayPro for a 22FB with a 2014 Ford F150 4x4. Has anyone set up a similar combination?
Had to purchase a 9 hole receiver to allow the hitch to drop low enough to meet the 17 3/4 inch ball height stated in the Airstream manual. Mounted the hitch on holes 3 and 5 from bottom. Installed SwayPro per mfr direction. With trailer attached to ball, ball sits about 19 1/2 inches high. Attached chains on springbar with 6 1/2 links showing. It seems to ride OK, but I have no previous reference to compare.
Here is my concern: The springbars seem to ride pretty low. I have 4 inches of clearance between the u bolt and the ground. In our short inaugural ride, I bottomed them out several times on modest dips.
Advice? Thanks.
