Is there a Way to Replace Slide On Demco DA91 Disc Brake Actuator For No Coupler Drop?

Question:

8750411 bought for my boat trailer . Unfortunately I found out after all was hooked up and tested that the drop hitch style was a bad idea for hooking up . Raised trail tongue height even with a 5 drop receiver. My question is can I purchase a straight tongue to put into this hitch with out any issues? And if not what would be another model that I can go to that has the disc brake style hitch with electric lock out thx

We do have the Replacement Inner Slide # DM12808-97 you could use with the Demco Trailer Coupler # DM15791-97 on your Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8750311. This would allow you to position the coupler at several different heights to best level your trailer.

Otherwise you would have to drill new holes for the Actuator # T4747220 which has a straight coupler out of the actuator.

That replacement looks like it goes down for adjustments. I would need one to be more neutral or even go up for adjustments. If there is a like replacement. If not then the one I took off is more like the Dexter straight hitch I could go back to . Just didn’t think with drum brakes and upgraded to disc brakes that I still needed to change out actuator. But if other options plz advise thanks
