Will Installing RAS RAS3611-Y on 2017 Ford F150 Require Changing Drop of Ball Mount
Question:
since this RAS raises the back 1 or 2 inches , will I have to lower my mount in order to maintain level on my travel trailer?

Helpful Expert Reply:
According to the RoadActive Suspension folks, when the # RAS3611-Y is installed on a 2017 Ford F-150, it'll raise the rear suspension by about an inch. If your trailer is currently perfectly level when hitched, you'll be fine with the ball being 1 inch higher. If the height difference is greater than an inch and half to 2 inches, then you'll want to go with a ball mount that has a larger drop. As long as you're within 2 inches, that's perfectly acceptable. I've linked to a product demonstration video featuring the RAS system.
