I can't tell you exactly what height setting you'll need to use as there's too many variables and unknowns but I can tell you that the height setting you need to use is whatever setting allows the trailer to sit as level as possible when towing.
So the most efficient way to do that would be to have your trailer sit as level as possible parked and then measure from the pin box mounting surface (not the king pin) down to the ground. Now measure from the top of your truck bed down to the ground. The difference between these two measurements is the height setting you would want to use keeping in mind the rear suspension will sag a little most likely when the trailer pin weight is on it. With that height setting used connect the trailer to the hitch and see how the trailer sits. If it's level you're good to go. If it's not you'll need to go with a different setting.
