Just to simplify some of your steps, the best way to adjust your front fender height is to not move the truck between measurements...

Do this by towing your rig to the level place where you'll do the work, park it, set the parking brake, uncouple the trailer and use the tongue jack to lift the trailer hitch completely off the ball. measure the front fender height, then simply lower the hitch onto the ball until the jack is no longer touching the ground, measure the front fender well. Those two measurements will give you the "rise" caused by the trailer tongue weight. Then use your "pry bar" to "load" your WD bars. Remeasure your front fender height and adjust your bars as needed to get the front fender measurement back to "the unloaded measurement"...... Then stand back and see if the trailer is "nose down" or "level".... If it is "nose high" you'll need to lower your hitch ball to get the trailer to a "nose down" or "level" configuration.

DON'T MOVE YOUR TRUCK WHILE DOING THE ABOVE. You'll never get the "level spot" to be the same from place to place in a parking lot and any difference in angle will cause your measurements to be wrong......
