Determining if Curt Weight Distribution C17500 Has Enough Drop to Tow Trailer Level
Question:
C17500 I am looking to purchase this item, but I have a question about the capabilities. My jeep receiver hitch is 22 from the ground. Will this have enough so that there is little tilt on the travel trailer? Thank you for your kind attention

Expert Reply:
The Curt TruTrack part # C17500 that you referenced is capable of providing up to 1/2 inch of drop. So in order for your trailer to be towed level considering your Jeep has a hitch height dimension of 22 inches the trailer would need to have a height from the ground to the bottom of the coupler lip of 21-1/2 inches.
For more drop you'd want the # C17124 which can do up to 9 inches of drop.
