Expert Reply:
Since you mentioned that you're only experiencing a little bit of sag on your truck with your Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE44FR, I recommend adding another washer.
Reason being, installing each washer will lower bracket end of spring bar approximately 1-1/2", which I feel would be more effective than raising the WD ball.
If adding the extra washers do not help, before adjusting the ball mount height, I would also try to reduce the load on the spring bars by lowering the L bracket.
