Hitch question

Picking up a new trailer in a couple weeks. Im thinking I want to get a new ball mount and ball. My question is what drop hitch do I need? Trailer is 16" from ground to coupler and it is 20" from the ground to the top of my reciever. Im thinking I need a 4" drop hitch. What are you guys running with your leveled trucks and 33's if that even makes a difference.

Really hard to say for sure, if you are buying your camper from a dealer they should have a selection of ball mounts to get the right setup.

Its just a 7x12 utility trailer. Will be hauling a rzr or an atv. I just figured if im going to get a new hitch I myswell get the right one.

What you could do is set the trailer jack that's up front to make the trailer parallel to the ground (of course chock the trailer so it doesn't move) and then back your truck up to the trailer. Then you can see roughly what drop you'll need if any. You may need to set the trailer where the front is slightly higher than the rear to account for the weight you'll put on the trailer. A 4 wheeler and RZR shouldn't add much weight to the front so if you make the front higher than the rear I would only do it maybe a couple of inches, but just a guess.
