Ball Drop
Hey just looking for a little advice on a hitch. What is the average drop that ya'll are using for your ball mount on your hitch? I was told with an H2 you need a 6" drop is that true. Thanks for the help.

Re: Ball Drop
I a runing a 6" drop hich for my quad trailer. I do also have a 4" drop hich, but my trailer was to high in the front for my liking. The 6" is better.

Re: Ball Drop
Thanks, I'm pulling a 24 foot Robalo and it's a pretty heavy boat, I just didn't know if that was going to be to low. I do have the air ride, I guess it sags a little. Thanks again for the reply.

Re: Ball Drop
It totally depends on the trailer. My boat, I use a 4" drop, and on my car carrier I use a straight hitch to maximize strength for towing over the limit. Also the air susp. helps level it out if you have it.

X2. I'm borrowing a utility trailer that won't sit level with a 6" drop. My guess is that an 8" drop might be about right.
And I just bought a boat where a 6" drop is just right for a level ride. The gap between the ball lock lever and the spare tire is 0" with the 6" drop though. So without relocating my spare off the back, there's no way I could really use a 4" drop hitch or shorter.
BTW, I have no air suspension in back.
