What Size Hitch Do I Need?
Step 1
Measure the opening of the receiver tube (Figure A) to determine what size shank your vehicle requires. It will be 2", 2.5" or 3" (Please note that 3" is applicable to some 2017 & newer Ford Super Duty trucks and some RVs/Semis only)
Step 2
Park your vehicle on level ground and measure from the ground to the bottom inside of the receiver tube (Figure B), then take that measurement and apply it to the information below. As you can see in the example, this truck would require our 6" drop.
Receiver height as measured:
Under 13" requires a hitch in the rise position, call us to help you
13"-15" requires 2" drop/rise hitch
16"-18" requires 4" drop/rise hitch
19"-21" requires 6" drop/rise hitch
22"-24" requires 8" drop/rise hitch
25"-27" requires 10" drop/rise hitch
28"-30" requires 12" drop/rise hitch
31"-33" requires 14" drop/rise hitch
34"-36" requires 16" drop/rise hitch
