Weight distribution hitch with sway control

[HarleyGuy#107]

I recently purchased a Husky Centerline TS wds hitch 400-600 lb tongue weight. The issue I am having is I have to mount it inverted to get the ball close to the 1 inch above the coupler spec stated in the instructions. In the 2nd hole from the bottom of the shank I can only achieve 2 inches higher than the coupler using all 4 washers on the pin. If I use the bottom hole I believe I can get the proper ball height.

My question, to anyone who may have run into this, is it ok to drop my bottom bolt to the bottom hole to gain that inch or would that be unsafe. I mean it has a hole there for a reason. I tried to call Husky tech support but they are not available on weekends. I can't work on it tomorrow as I have to work and I was going to take the hitch head to work to get the proper 380 ftlb of torque required on the shank bolts.

Please I need help ASAP.

I have an Equal-i-Zer WD anti sway hitch: https://www.equalizerhitch.com/blog/12-15-2016/equal-i-zer-hitch-wins-gold-award-five-years-in-a-row

Not familiar with the Husky but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to help you as many knowledgable folks here.

Yeah. sorry. I have a different brand WD/Sway and wouldn't feel right recommending. Good luck.
