I got the 8" drop bulletproof hitch. Total overkill for my current trailer but....Buy once cry once applies to this hitch. I was not cool using the sleeve as I think they are a bad idea. I was not sold on aluminum from a materials standpoint as aluminum tends to frett and wear faster than steel. The bulletproof hitch has a wide spread between the top and bottom pin which is better for handling loads. It is a monster and will easily handle anything my 350 can throw at it.

Any of yall running drop hitches with pintle? At work we have 2in, 2 5/16, and pintle. Looks like the Gen Y Hitch is a good option.

 

I'm running a 5in drop on mine. Both my cattle trailer and carhauler run level.

 

Just ordered the bulletproof 6" drop based on their recommendation for a stock f350. See what this hitch is all about hopefully Friday when delivered

 

Went with the Weigh Safe, 8" drop. Looks like it will work with any trailer I have. Buying a new enclosed Motorcycle Trailer with tongue at about 16" high, 8" will work.

 

Pics always help...I ordered thru Amazon so that the pins are keyed the same.

6" drop

 

I bought the GEN-Y 21k, 9" drop for my F350 Platinum with 20" wheels. It rubbed a couple times on the curb when backing trailer, so I exchanged it for their 6" drop. Cost a few dollars for shipping but the 9" hung a little too low. Very happy with the 6" drop and the GEN-Y hitch. If I have a trailer that needs to be lower than the bottom position I just put one of my standard drop hitches in the appropriate position and I can have any drop or rise necessary.

Same hitch I bought, also Amazon. Really liked the weigh scale and keying both pins the same. Pricey, but worth it for as often you buy an item like this, been 20 years since I had to buy a ball mount.

 

Are all you guys running without weight distribution?

 

I only use my Weigh Safe ball mount for my small trailers and around town with my RV trailer. When I'm headed out of town, I always using my WDH (Andersen).

 

On my 6.5' x 12' utility trailer, even on the 10" drop, the trailer is still 1-2" from being level. On some uneven and hilly terrain, ground I scraped the bottom ball. I found this out this weekend while towing the UTV a bunch. These trucks are really getting tall. This has be considering to lower the back and inch or so.

 

Just depends on your trailers. My toy hauler is setup for offroad, flipped axles and 33" LT tires. I pretty much have a 0" drop on mine.

 

 

 

Fairly certain the 250's still get the 2.5 receiver, unless you went with the 'heavy tow package' in which case it is a 3 inch.
