Helpful Expert Reply:
When you're flat towing a vehicle, you want the tow bar to be within 3 inches plus or minus of level. If you're outside that range, you can use a High Low adapter to get you in range. Ideally, you'd be as close to level as possible, but as long as you're within 3 inches one way or the other, you should be fine.
If you need a high-low adapter I've linked our selection. The most popular is part # RM-076 from Roadmaster. I've also linked an article to help you determine how much rise or drop you need.
