Perhaps. The difference is only about 2". It would take a lot of torque
to rotate it under my 1 ton. Maybe in a rear-ending.

I was using a Ford F-100 long bed, stock 4x4 height, probably liter
than most TJs. Just slowing down was enough for the rear end to begin to
come around, until I decided I wanted the Jeep to left first.

I remeasured this afternoon. The top of the tow-bar lifts 7/8 inch up to
the hitch from the spring. Very close to level. Close enough for nearly
nil leverage on my 99 F-350 Superduty 4x4 CrewCab Shortbed V-10 with a 2
1/2" lift. The truck is more center heavy than front heavy, with the
Class 3 hitch, fifth wheel plate, tools and crap in the bed. I can live
with it. I have emergency stop tested it, so hard as to kick in the
antilocks, with the Jeep in tow. Body lean is minimal on the 7
heavy-duty leafs, so minimal in fact, a bed full of dirt (I mean heaping
full) and three railroad ties lowers the back end less than an inch.
Thanks.
