Expert Reply:
Since you are installing your Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 on your 2021 Ford F-150 truck you will not use step 3. This step is only required for cars, vans and small SUV's as their suspension is not intended for towing with a weight distribution hitch and will squat more.
You will set your ball height as close as possible to the coupler height of your level trailer.
