The pins should be just high enough so the A-frame of the plow is nearly level, with the plow sitting on the ground. If they are too high or low, when the plow is angled to the left or right, one corner will be low. In extreme cases this will cause that corner to dig in when the ground is soft under the snow. If it's only a little off, it will wear the outside corners of the cutting edge faster than the middle. You can demonstrate this by swinging the A-frame from side to side, with the plow off the tractor. Set the frame higher or lower than level and measure the height of both pin holes in several swing positions.

I have seen several A plows that use a pair of oak timbers to brace back to the drawbar, about a 3x4 as I recall. This gives a little bit of flex in the whole thing and helps absorb shocks. When set up this way, the front part of the frame is not rigidly mounted, but can pivot back and forth a little bit.
