You will want the camper level, and install the head unit onto the weight distribution shank so that the trailer ball is about 1-2 inches higher than the coupler of the trailer, to compensate for sag.

Once the trailer is hitched and the chains on the system are under tension, the trailer should be level. The spring bars should eliminate any squat or sag caused by the weight of the trailer.

I will provide a link below to the installation instructions, which will run you through the whole process.
