Adjustable Ball Mount to Tow Multiple Trailers with a 2013 Ford F-150 with 6 Inch Lift

Question:

I have a 2013 Ford F-150 Fx4 with a Waldoch Rampage Conversion Kit. It has a 6inch lift with a set of 325/60 R20s. Wanting to know how much of a drop down ball mount to get? Stuck between the ALMB6800 and ALMB7000. My trailers I generally pull are for a boat, jet ski, ATVs, cargo, and motorcycle. The lowest measurement between all of them is 9 1/2inch but dont know with them loaded if the 8inch drop would do? Please advise thank you!!!!

Since the lowest of your trailers needs a ball mount with a 9-1/2 inch drop I recommend going with the Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount # DTALBM7000 with the 10 inch drop. It is better to have that little bit of extra drop and not need it than to have a ball mount that does not offer enough drop.

The tongue weight of the trailer could pull down the your 2013 Ford F-150 enough to tow it level with the other ball mount, # DTALBM6800, but there is no guarantee that it will pull it down enough.

I have also included a link to our help article on how to measure for the rise or drop needed to tow a trailer level.
