Mine does have a 2" drop as we speak.  Thanks !

Generally, our trucks at stock height need a 4-6" drop. I learned that the hard way. When I hooked a trailer on a 2" drop, the trailer sat nose high and caused a vibration in the cabin similar to what you described.

Cool man I did not know that.  It is interesting I was towing the same way with the same hitch before the shock and strut switch.  I am going to try a few things over the weekend and if it does not work I will get a new hitch.

 

Many thanks man !

What you really want to see is that the trailer frame be level with the ground. 

Now on a utility trailer, it really matters on you tongue weight(what you are carrying and how it is place on it). 

Did you have roughly the same load and roughly same tongue weight?

 

On my LT 4x4 i have to use a zero drop ball/hitch for most of my trailers.

Blanco,

 

I will check both of those.  I am much more level know with the 2" drop.  In terms of how I am loading the ATV, I will put it on there more balanced and to the rear this next time out.  I may go run if here over the long weekend to experiment, but yes, it is always the same ATV, same load.

 

Thanks !
