The trailer really should be level, or more realistically as close to level as possible with the nose pointing up.

I have a WDH/Anti-sway hitch calibrated to my wife's SUV (our main TV), but I tow regularly with my truck, which is about 2 inches different, without any issue and it works fine.
However, if I were to switch to my truck as the main TV, then I would readjust the hitch settings. So my recommendation, if the upgrade you talk about is permanent, then you should take the time/effort to re-level the towing and set the WDH for the new vehicle. It'll give peace of mind, if nothing else.

I just upgraded my TV from an SUV to a pickup. I have one of the Husky WD hitches and I measured the ball at 19 inches above the pavement on the SUV. I inverted the shank and used the lowest holes and I have about 21 inches on the truck. Is this close enough or do I need a different shank to get the ball lower. Pod is a 179 HRE. Thanks.
