What size is your drop hitch?

Just curious to see what the average drop most of you all have for your trucks. I currently have and FX4 and the factory ride height. I'll be leveling out the front end but leaving the rear stock.

Looked at some reese's at Wally-world and just wanted to know what size to get for general purpose.

I have a 2004 Lariat 4x2 Supercrew with no lift or drop alterations. A 2" drop hitch keeps my boat tongue level, just like it did on my 2001 Supercrew.

I've always used a 2" drop hitch and always kept my 4 place sled trailer level. I actually just bought another 2" drop hitch at Pep Boy's and it was $19.95. It is made by Reese but called something different like tow power I think. It came with a 2" ball and the hitch pin. To buy all three seperately, it is like $40. It is also a 1" shank rated for 6000lb.

I run a 2" drop for most trailers, but I also have a 2" drop with the ball mounted on the other side for a 1" rise. That works best for the 4-place snowmobile trailer.
