    Trailor hitch height

    I remember reading this somewhere. What does BCB reccomend from the ground to the top of the ball. I purchased a Tundra with 20 inch wheels, I'm sure my trailor hitch off my 02 ford will not be correct. Maybe some one on here has this set up and knows what drop I need.

    I would imagine you'd want your trailer to be level when towing. Level your trailer on level ground, then measure from inside receiver where top of ball would sit, to ground.

    They should be 1”-2” higher on the ball for braking.

    20”-21” works very well for most.

    Remember to measure with the trailer loaded on the ball.
    Mine is about an inch above level when loaded.
    Tires wear perfect and even.
