OK all you towing guru's, need your advice.

Recently purchased 2026 Tacoma, tow package, hybrid motor with the extra torque and all that. Pulls great, but as a lighter truck definitely going with WDH.

Installed and tuning up my E2 Trunnion bar hitch. 

Front with nothing on the hitch sits at 36 5/8"
Front with the RPod on the ball with no WDH sits at 37 1/8". 
So, front raises up 1/2" with load and no WDH.
That puts my target with WDH installed at 36 5/8"  -  36 7/8"

After mucking around with the washers and placement of the hitch, what I'm getting is actually 37".
So, 1/8" under-adjusted. Ideally I guess I'm about 1/4" under-adjusted if I'm shooting for bit less than midway.

What I'm asking is, how accurate do I have to be? Should I take the thing apart and re-install the L-brackets one notch higher to try to get that 1/8" to 1/4"? Will probably have to take the third washer out as well, which means getting that ball off the shank again (ugh, those bushing nuts do NOT like to come off).

I guess I was expecting the front to come up more than 1/2" without WD.
