Default Ball Mount for my H3

I need a ball mount for the trailer hitch in my '08 H3. Does anyone know the amount of drop I would need for a normal Uhaul trailer. I'm guessing a 2" to 3", but not sure.

I realize I can go measure, but if you know, I would appreciate the help.

Depending on your back lift and front set. More like 5 or 6" drop

If you have a factory hitch a 4 inch drop should do it,
if you have aftermarket hitch like i do a 2 inch drop works fine

Thanks 442. I realize it "depends", but just wanted some idea of what it might take. I'll be looking at a 4" drop.

Those U Haul trailers have some low toung heights, so I would measure.

I have a 5" drop for one trailer, but had a 4" for the other trailer. Since I have no more trailers now, with 35's, I cannot measure for you, but I would go to Uhaul and measure reall quick.
