Hmmm... guess I'm not being clear. Yes. I DO want to raise the TM (not the tow bar). My guess, and after talking with TM staff) is 2 things...

1- '87 model TMs actually were lower to the ground.
2- the springs have simply got tired and it's even lower than it was originally.

I have only 8" from ground to the bottom of the frame. The hitch lock is at 12".

I dont have any problem getting the ball on my vehicle to go that low... its just that the WD springs are about 5" below the ball on the hitch.
