I am sure that someone will disagree with me but I towed my trailer about 2000 miles last summer and as yoiu can see in this picture my hitch is just a little high. I did not want to pay for a longer shank for my hitch. I did not notice any issues.

I have decided to take Tech's advise and continue using the WDH on my new TV.

The "top-of-the-ball" height was 19" when installed on the Jeep.  The closest we could adjust the hitch
resulted in a "middle-of-the-ball" height of 19".  In other words, about an inch or so higher.  I don't
anticipate any heartburn from this small difference, but if I am wrong, I am more than willing to be
corrected.

Thanks!
