Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Lambeau- My truck has a lift kit, and I have a matching drop hitch. Having the trailer level also provides better clearance for the motor, i.e., the lower unit. Navychief has a very good point, i.e., weight distribution is also important. If you can't lift the trailer by hand, the boat is to far forward. It needs to be a little noise heavy maybe 50lb's-100lbs or so, I can lift mine with one hand. Mine was setup by the factory (Skeeter). When I'm headed to Canada and carrying extra gear/gas in the boat, I also try to keep the majority of my heavy items centered over the axle to maintain the balance.
Have fun!
