Ray:

Don't know if they just drew it for effect, but I also noticed that in the first document (fig 4) when properly adjusted everything is aligned parallel -- the spring bars, trailer, and TV. Basically all the axis align with the level plane. Maybe I'm wrong, but if you can get the ballmount height and angle and chain drops positioned such that spring bars, trailer axis, and TV axis align with the level plane, wouldn't the load be fully equalized among TV front & rear axles and the trailer axis? The TV would sit level with the trailer also level to the plane of the TV.
