Towing of B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook Ball Mount # BWTS10056

Question

Question:

I have a 2015 F250 Super duty Plat edition 6.7 Diesel. Truck has 8 inch lift kit using blocks. What is the average towing reduction for lifted trucks? Using the BWTS10056 pintle/ball combo setup do I need any additional equipment if hitch is ped to Max 8inch when towing 10-12k from pintle? Thanks.

It's really hard to say what type of towing capacity reduction you'd have with the lift kit you installed. You'd want to check with the manufacturer of the kit to get the best answer for that.

The B and W Tow and Stow ball mount part # BWTS10056 that you referenced has a 16,000 lb capacity with it's 2-5/16 inch ball or 10,000 lb with the 2 inch ball.
