TBH single axle yu wont have a problem, unless the back of the trailer is actually dragging on the road!
It is double axle where towball height is very critical!
that's the problem I think it will drag or very nearly drag with the height of the ball as it is now lol suppose only way to find out is to try it n then panic!

Ball as low as poss. and a gentle test run might be the best plan.

You may have insurance /safety issues with that "modification" of the nas/aus type reciever hitch , as its rating would be compromised by the length of drop and then subsequent lack of bracing to redress the balance. The trailer shown would most likely not be a problem , but at the 3500kg upper end its a different matter , I have seen distortion by such stresses on hitchs in Australia , and they were not as extreme as the one pictured .

I agree, fine for a little single axle box, unsafe and illegal for 3 tonne plus.
For max weight towing, which I do most weeks, I always use standard height vehicle and tyres, and the standard Disco towbar with bracing bars fitted.

Basically the same as mine,
And this is with 35" tyres, 2" lift
