Gerritt Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 get the trailer level.. or resting a little back, back your truck up to the tongue and measure from the bottom of the receiver should give you a good idea on the amount of drop required.

I meant that you want a bit of weight on the tongue... after re-reading it... doesnt sound that way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 the standard towing height is 18" off the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vance Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Height depends on the trailer,my shorelander's is 15-17 inches from the top of the ball.Check with the trailer manufacturer,they are all a little different. vance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast-Away Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Call a reputable hitch place. They should be able to tell you the correct height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
