Back to the original OP questions:

Measuring the frame between the wheels and accounting for the coupler position relative to the point you are measuring to on the frame gives you the best indication of your coupler height since it compensates for uneven surfaces. I suspect it will be 24 inches.

As to what you set your ball height to, that is harder to predict since it depends on how much your TV will squat when loaded. Reese suggests setting the ball height 1 inch higher as a starting point to account for the sag. Most of us ended up tweaking the ball height at least once until we got it right.
