The minimum height for the Trailer Valet XL # TVXL2 is 19-1/4 inches. The maximum height is 20-1/4 inches.

Please keep in mind that when leaving the Trailer Valet hooked up to your trailer on a slope that you will want to use chocks, like part # 3605, to help secure your trailer.

I have included some demonstration videos for you as well.
