How to Pick Out the Right Rise/Drop Ball Mount

Question

Question:

I bought this for use with my truck/trailer. It works but my old one had a 3-4inch and with this my trailer appears to sit slightly higher. I was wondering if the Reese plate would be a better item for me and if so which class would I need. My truck is an 07 Toy Tacoma and my trailers max weight is 4000lbs, 350 - 400 tongue weight.

It sounds like you may need a different drop ball mount, but to prevent you from ordering the wrong one check out the FAQ article I attached that details how to select the correct height ball mount for your setup.

Hey Jaime, yes you can replace your 25-1/4 inch 3,500 lb axle leaf springs with a 5k rated axle spring like the part #e44SR. This will increase the suspension's weight capacity and might make the ride quality a little rougher but it would fit and…
