Hitch Recommendation?
Fellas,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

I just bout a new 2012 6.7 with 6" lift. I am trying to select the best receiver ball mount hitch. I am sure you guys are more familiar with these than me. I often pull a variety of bumper pull trailers, and I want one size fits all kinda hitch. Given that I have a 6" lift on the truck, i expect I need a receiver with 10" drop regardless of what brand i get. I am considering the B&W TOW & STOW hitch with 10" drop will all three ***** (25/16", 2", 17/8") or the rapid hitch with 2" & 25/16". I like the idea of being able to turn the B&W hitch under my truck, having all 3 *****, and not have to worry about having what i need when i need it. But it runs about $80 bucks more than the rapid hitch.<o></o>

What are y'alls thoughts, recommendations? I am sure someone out that has experienced both.<o></o>
Thanks for the help.<o></o>

One thing i failed to mention, it appears the B&W hitch has a greater range to move the ball up and down when compared to the rapid hitch.

All I have is a 4" drop and a convert a ball. Amazon.com: Reese Towpower 74309 Interchangable 1 7/8", 2", 2 5/16" Hitch Ball Kit: Automotive
That aluminum one is pretty cool looking though, but I personally would be leary of it withstanding use over time, aluminum is pretty soft in my opinion.

check out rigidhitch.com they have some really good setups for your application, i purchased one for an old chevy of mine that would slide up and down just by pulling the pin for the desired height you need.
