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.

Re: Ball Drop
I just wanted to thank everyone for the help and input ya'll gave me. I did get the 6" drop and it worked great. Not to mention I ended up with a nice mess of Red Snapper on my fishing trip.
