In most cases it's a bit safer to go on the slightly lower nose height setting instead of slightly higher since higher can sometimes cause sway. But if the vehicle is going to squat quite a bit from the weight of the trailer then the higher would work better which would be the case with the 4 inch drop ball mount part # 2753.
