Default would you adjust?

I have towed this way 4 trips so far. Works like a champ. Probably took it up to 70MPH on a busy highway for a couple of miles. The rest was 50MPH.

When it was set up I actually did not have the camper with me so we went by a comparison with old tow vehicle to this Ford.
My camper was in one city for repair and I took my truck to another city 2 hours away for repair and Equalizer set up. Before I did that I parked new and old tow vehicles beside each other and took a photo.
Brought the high res 8x10 photo to my Equalizer guy along with my measurements.
He said he would do his best "for now" until I could bring the whole thing back.
Well of course I never got around to it but when I look at it, it does look like it needs a slight adjustment doesn't it.

It does look a tad high in the front.
How many washers are you running? if it's pulling good, I'd be reluctant to change the bar tension, though.
Maybe drop the hitch down one hole to level it out?

I would definitely lower the back part of the hitch one hole.
