Question:
If I cant get the trailer level witch would be better to have the nose up or nose down right now I am about an 1 nose up the next hitch I can get will put it about an inch down. Or will make a difference

Helpful Expert Reply:
Getting the trailer as close to level as you have should be just fine. If your only options are to be a tiny bit too high or a tiny bit too low I usually recommend going on the high side since most likely the suspension will compress slightly from the weight of the tongue weight and it will get very close to level.
I attached a help article on picking out ball mount rise/drop for you to check out as well.
