Could you get the dealer to park the trailer on a level spot and then level the trailer front to back (not with levelup) and then they could measure the kingpin height for you.

I'm thinking you're a bit over anxious here. No two trailers will sit the same and how are you going to estimate truck squat? My Q20 only has 4 bolts that adjust the head height and it's a quick and easy adjustment. If yours has 3 sets of adjustment holes in the main frame like mine, I'd start with the highest mount and go from there.

IIRC my Q20 with the slider base was on the lowest setting, and when I got the fixed base with the long bed i measured and put it on the highest setting. I think I would start high and work down if you need to.

Mine is 46" to the bottom of the plate. Hope this gives you a starting point. This unit is pretty pin-heavy, and you didn't specify your truck, so you should expect a 3-4" drop
