How Much Drop From Gen Y Adjustable Ball Mount is Needed for Trailer with 25 inch Tall Hitch
Question:
I have a 2019 F250 Lariat with 6inch lift and 37inch tires. Looking at the Gen Y Im not sure what I would need for the average trailer. Right now I need the receiver to be able to put on my pool vac that I carry during the upcoming months but be prepared in case I need to pull a trailer with this new truck. Dont know if the 6inch or 9inch is what I need. Top of receiver is at 25inch The 6inch looks like it wood be good enough and 9inch might be too low and hit in some situations. Thanks for the help.

We see a lot of coupler heights around the 14 to 16 inch height for smaller trailers. So for a trailer that has 25 inches from the top of the hitch opening to the ground a 9 inch drop is going to be about right.
So for a Gen Y adjustable ball mount that has that much drop and fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch we have the part # 325-GH-1624 for a non cushioned ball mount or the # 325-GH-1325 for a cushioned solution.
