They don't have the 3" on their site yet but tell me the coupon is good for it if you call.

So, what's the final? What is everyone ordering. I spoke with Weigh Safe and they said most 2017 Ford guys were ordering the 8". I think that is sufficient on a stock height truck. Anyone thinking differently?

I still don't have a truck to measure (dealer swears it'll be here tomorrow) but top of ball height (2 5/16") on my 2012 is 21.5" off the shop floor and that tows my 3 most used trailers at level. The Waverunner trailer ball height (2") needs to be almost 1.5" lower.

My problem is I've seen two different guys post measurements that weren't in line with each other.

Force74 measured 9.5" from the ground up to the bottom of his 10" in a SRW 350 with 20" wheels here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post16793485

Then jdunk54nl with a 250 on 18's get's 11.25" here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post16788363

This seems completely backward. A taller truck has less ground clearance with the same hitch installed? I was ready to order the 8" but now I'm not sure... again! ARGH...

I went 6". Old truck was a 4" drop this truck is 2" higher
All my trailers have adjustable tongues too so if I am off I can adjust.
If I ever have to pull something that is lower I will buy a cheapie 8" drop or pull it out of level.

Tried to use the promo code for a WS8-3.... NOPE. expired or not available for this product.
I have two months to wait for the truck, so I'll weight (pun intended) for a good deal.

Like I said, give them a call or shoot an email. Looks like discounts are rising net wide though. Now their site says 10% as opposed to the 15% they had up this AM.

OK guys, I have a place doing 10% off with free shipping if anyone is interested. Here is a direct link to their site.

Ford Super Duty 3" Hitch

Promo code: FTEWEIGH

Here is the link to the main site where other sizes are listed. Code works on all sizes and drops.

http://www.trunkmonkeyparts.com/weighsafe

They have another code on their site but use ours so they know we've sent them traffic. Who knows, maybe there will be more deals sent our way...

I just ordered a 3" 180 hitch with 8" drop from the trunk monkey website. Sorry, didn't see your post edit for the FTE code but I did make mention that I found it on the FTE site in the order notes. Thanks for scoping out Karl4cat!
