Drop hitch

[Canadiankid]

Anyone know how much of a drop I need for a hitch on a 2500?

Thanks

You will need however much it takes to make the trailer LEVEL while fully loaded. Every trailer and load is different.

for my 25HD

 

tandem wheels need to be equally on the ground & have a level goose neck

normal 2 wheel trailers need to have level goose neck

 

my 27' foot boat trailer needs a 2 1/2" Added Height on the hitch ... and

my 19' old boat needed a 3 1/2" Drop

Good advise.

Just buy a B+W adjustable drop hitch and be done with it.

I was planning on an adjustable hitch, 6 inch would be plenty right? Found a trimax razor for a good price.

I have a 5 inch drop on my B & W hitch with stock tires works fine, I don't really know what your pulling. Have you backed up to your trailer, leveled it up just to get a guesstimate . 6 inch should be enough but cant say for sure.

My trailer is in storage an hour away, it's a 10k lbs dump. I'm hoping to bring the hitch and bring the trailer home in one shot. That's why I was asking.
