Sorry for this question, but this i my 1st SD...Is the hitch shank receiver 2" or 2.5". Thanks in advance

 

Actually I think the 350 has a 3" shank, but come with 3 to 2.5 and 2.5 to 2 adapters. The 250 is 2.5" unless we get the high capacity trailer package, then it is 3"

 

Here ya go.....This truck is a 350 Dually Lariat.

 

Weigh-safe is making a 3" adjustable now. Awesome hitch so you don't have to deal with the spacers. Tell them Braxton sent you.

 

Where can one buy this? I don't see anything on their website.

 

cassidy@weigh-safe.com
email her directly and tell her Braxton said she is selling them already. Production just started so they are having a hard time keeping up after SEMA but they should be able to send it out in about a week. I'm going with the 8" 180 model and they said that should ship next week. Looked awesome at the show.

 

What was the cost on those? Around $350?

Thanks for the info!

 

Actually it has to do with the engine if it's an F250 heavy duty with the diesel it has a 3 inch receiver. If it's an F350 with a gas motor it has a 2 1/2 inch receiver if the F350 has a diesel it has a 3 inch receiver.

 

Does the gas 350 Dually get the 2 1/2 or 3" ??

 

I think my hitch will be 2 1/2". F250 Lariat, Gas, 10000#GVWR, Gooseneck hitch kit, 4x4.

My current Sierra 4x4 is towing my boat with a ball height of 22.5"(ground to top of ball). Any one have an idea what range I will need on a hitch drop to get about this height? Thinking about the Weigh Safe 180 adjustable.

 

We know your hitch will be the 2 1/2...you're getting a gas 250. The azz end of these trucks sit REALLY high. For my dad's boat, his old 2011 top of hitch measurement had to be around 19 1/2 - 20 to work with his modified/lowered bay boat trailer and being able to get it into the garage. He had a 3" drop B&W...so he got a 5" inch drop model. Got it home and tried it...NO GO...lowest setting only gave him 21 1/2..so back to the store and came home with the 7" drop B&W Tow and Stow and it now gives him the flexibility in the bottom two settings to work with his bay boat and utility trailer. I actually got the same drop...in case he needs to use my truck. I can get away with a little higher ball measurement on my Nautique and TT.....probably around 21 to the top of the ball measured from ground up for my use. I've got some pics of the 7 inch B&W in one of the other threads. I think it's titled 3" inch receiver or something like that. Good luck with your new truck.

 

Good info! Thanks Ken!

 

I pre-ordered my weigh safe 3" with 8" drop over the phone today. $339 + $12.99 shipping.

They estimate stock arriving in 2 weeks, but could have hiccups.

 

so a regular f250 with no high capacity gets 2.5" ?
