Which ever way you choose to tow the primary consideration in "pulling" a load is to get the mass moving in one horizontal direction. That means a hitch that is on the appropriate level with the vehicle to be towed.

A hitch to low/high changes tongue weight. Get the geometry right first and then build it as tough as you can.

It has been proven that AS moho's can tow much more than their original tow design with the right hitch.
