Drop Hitch Help

I need a drop hitch for my 2017 F250. I will be towing a 30' travel trailer - about 5500 lbs and 600 lbs of tongue weight. My truck is lifted 3" and I have airlift airbags. Im looking for an adjustable drop hitch, any suggestions on high quality brands to check out or ones to stay away from?

Thanks in advance.

Gen-Y is adjustable, and can be potentially set up for weight distribution and sway control, also weigh safe if our coupon still works

I considered both the BulletProof and Gen-Y. Great products and a heck of a tow rating. If my truck was lifted, I would have gone with one of those. But with only a 2” leveling kit I was able to save a couple of $ and went with a Curt 45902, still a respectable tow rating.
