I have the 10' drop SSBM HD - https://www.fastwaytrailer.com/flash...all-mount-ssbm
I need to set it down to 9" drop when towing my utility trailer with the UTV. Other trailers that are slightly taller dont need as much drop. I have OEM 275 65 20's

I just bought the same one and waiting on it. Figured with my 295s and any possibility of having to hook up to a short trailer it was worth the few extra bucks to go 10 inch. Also bought it because at 20,000 and 2,000 tongue I could run a sleeve and use it on a 3 inch receiver if I ever change to an F350 as thats the rating.
Disappointed to see someone scraping with a 8 inch hitch above, will have to remember to take it off it getting off road while pulling a heavy gooseneck.

Measurements from Draw Tite -
Ground to top of receiver hole = 24".
Ground to bottom of trailer coupler = 16".
The suggested drop hitch would be 8" ? ? ?
Any consideration on how much it makes the truck squat ?
Just wondering on getting a Weigh Safe 6" or 8" drop ?
2019 F350 CCLB with snow plow package. I did change tires to Toyo 295/65R20.

My stock height 350 requires the 7" of drop for both of my trailers so I run the 8" Weigh Safe. I've never had clearance issues during normal towing. The only time it ever hit was entering a new lot I just had cleared and the driveway wasn't in yet. (But in that situation, a 4" would have hit too.) Anyways, the 8" is a safe bet for any trailer you have or may get in the future.
