Default hitch question

Just bought a barely used 2021 Kingsport Super Light 199DD and am taking delivery in a few days. I have two questions I just can't get answered by searching online.

First, I am trying to set up the new weight distributing hitch I bought and I need to know the coupler height for the trailer so I can install the ball at approx the right height. I know it will need final adjustment once the trailer is hitched, but the dealer is 2 hours away and I would like to prep as much as possible ahead of time. I am not going to get on the highway without it.

Second, I bought the Husky 31997 800LB hitch because I originally was planning to buy a heavier trailer. It is unclear if this is too much or not, since the rated tongue weight of this trailer is only 375LB. The hitch documentation lists 800LB as the maximum tongue weight and does not state a minimum. This is my first WD hitch and I need to know if this is too much tension. can the tension be reduced by adding a link to the setup for the bars or do I need to try to exchange this for a lighter unit? I'm having trouble finding one under 600LB and many sites seem to group all under 800LB under one product.
