Question:
I installed Item # BLU27FR and had to lower the l bracket to the top two holes just to be able to lift the spring bar in place. Is this normal?

Expert Reply:
Per the instructions(linked below) for the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution # BLU27FR you should have at least one open hole on your L-Brackets # BLU42QR. It sounds like your hitch head may be pitched to far down or you have an underslung coupler. If you have an underslung coupler you will need the Long L-Brackets # BLU52QR. Feel free to send any images of your installation and I can verify what you may need.

How much longer are these long brackets over the regular ones? My hitch receiver is sitting pretty low and I am having trouble getting the bars over these L brackets.
