Re: Rear end sag
Quote:

Should the truck hitch ball height be the same as the trailer tongue ball receiver ( receptacle?) before hooking up? Or, considering the known sag in advance, in order for the trailer to be level when towing, should the ball be an inch or two higher than the trailer tongue receiver? Or something else maybe?

The ball height should be set so that the trailer is level when towing. The amount is going to be dependent on the tongue weight of the trailer.
Having the tongue too high on a multi-axle trailer decreases the load on the front axle(s). Part of this load gets transferred to the tongue. The rest of it is tranferred to the rear axle where it can potentially overload the axle. Having the tongue height too low can overload the front axle. On a single-axle trailer, a too-high ball height can contribute to trailer sway.
