Same for me with my Sienna, and a similarly sized (but inferior) trailer... and no WD or sway system at all.

So either the chains angle down to the plate from the brackets, or the brackets are tilted up at the front.

The head of the Andersen puts the chains about 6 inches below the top of the ball (easy...
