Yes it`s angled down and there is plenty to read about this on tis forum and other manufactures forums also.. I have seen stock to lightly lifted trucks have issues with their hitch tilting down and in some cases it was due to the drop of the hitch and the increased load that it puts on the receiver itself. I have had it happen with my Lifted Jeep while pulling a 5x8 trailer with a yard of mulch on it, because of a driver who could not see a blue Jeep Rubicon pulling a trailer decided to pull out in front of me and I had to stomp on the pedal to avoid hitting them. I thought all was fine and dandy until I pulled into my driveway and my Jeep came to a sudden stop and I thought something must have just came apart from a white knuckle stop. I got out and looked under and didn't see anything leaking or falling apart so I figured it was maybe a trailer bearing seized up? It turned out to be that my receiver was bent down at such an angle that the bottom of the hitch was jammed into the driveway apron. Needless to say the factory hitch was scrapped and a Curt hitch was put on and never had a problem or panic stop with it either.
With my other full size trucks in the past I have towed my race boat and several other boat trailers with twin and triple axle brake systems and never had an issue and some of the trucks were using a 10" drop hitch
I'm just saying that it's a lot of weight back there and you have to take a lot into consideration. From the looks of the trailer your pulling it has to be something pretty nice!
What I was told by several manufacturers due to the increased drop it will cause the receiver to flex upon acceleration and hard braking
You can tell just by what you spent on the drop hitch alone that the trailer is high end $$ especially with the electric over hydraulic brakes and being a welded Aluminum trailer which is not an I beam so it is either a C-Channel or box frame or ?? Who is the manufacture of the trailer, Myco? and whats on it because not too many trailer manufactures weld up the front rails to the coupler beam, most are bolted.
This does not apply to your trailer at all from what I can see !!! One other thing is how the trailer is set up, two axle with brakes on bots axles? Some states (NJ) it is a law that you must have brakes on both axles if the trailer is rated. If you look and talk to some of the Quality made hitch manufactures you will see that they make a hitch that fits under the factory hitch.
