Exactly, trailers always pull a little better nose high than nose down. It helps keep them from swaying. BUT way high in the nose is not good either, that will also tend to cause sway.
1-2" high is where we usually set them when we hooked them up at work.

Got you. Thanks for clarifying this.

And I can't believe that in just like 2 days, my avitar (spelling?) went from being a "Teardrop Dreamer" to a "Teardrop Builder."

I'm so proud, but you'll have to excuse my while I wipe away this tear...

HAHHHH!

And hey, if anyone who's familiar with the Cubby plans wants to kill some time today, can you please go to my "Newbie" thread and answer some questions that I posted, in neat, numerical order? I want to get started tomorrow, SLOWLY, and I can't believe that I'm already confused.

And check--I'm gonna stick with the Nylocks and just upgrade the bolts.
