Tow hich info for those with lifts

[Frenchy]

Alrighty so as we all know most of us gave either lifted or leveled our trucks and the biggest issue we run into is what hitch do we run(ball mount is the correct word) so the trailer wont be at an excessive angle? Well with all the different configurations available for trailers abd what lift and tires you installed will vary and perhaps we can all share that information here.

For example, my truck has the Old Man EMU lift(for those who are not aware already) with 285/70-17 tires. For a Uhaul trailer an 8 inch drop hitch(ball mount) is perfect as the trailer will be level unloaded wich is optimal to start. After loading it will depend but that is a great start to say the least.

For me (fx4, stock Hankooks, 2.5 level kit) a 5 1/4” drop receiver is perfect for our truck/travel trailer. With the addition of a Firestone rear airbag kit (which is awesome) a 30 psi it all sits basically level with maybe just an ever so slight tongue down of the trailer, which I like.

Lol and that is if it adjusts enough. Remember, some people go stupid crazy with lifts.... Even with Rangers

Big or small as you like, 2 inch, 2 1/2 inch, drop raise 7500lb or 20,000 lb or bigger capability. Nothing a good credit card can't get.

To say the least I don't like it. It looks way too over engineered for simple Towing. A good drop hitch or weight distribution hitch will do just fine. I can get an adjustable for a better cost for that matter.

I suggest that you start with English lessons and then get some tape measure reading skills.
