It seems to me that a difference between the trailer being slightly low or slightly high from level while towing is that air flow may be different. This may cause a modest change in fuel consumption.
It is also my undocumented opinion (aka gossip) that a trailer riding low in the front is slightly more stable than a trailer that is riding slightly high.
For a few inches of difference, I doubt that it matters.
I have scraped the front battery tray twice. I have scraped the rear hitch receiver more times than I want to think about. The battery tray scrapes were measurable in inches. The rear hitch receiver scrapes were measurable in feet. In my situation, towing a bit low has a advantage. This part does not matter for most TM owners, because most TM owners probably do not go where I go. If you don''t have 4WD and a high clearance vehicle, then you definitely won't go where I go.
