The height of where you install the E-track will depend greatly on where it will work best for the cargo you plan to tow. Most people put it around half way up or lower. But once again that will just depend on where it will work the best for you.

You might take the sections out into the trailer with the cargo you plan to carry and see where it would work the best.
