Receiver Height

Hello,
I am trying to preemptively order a dropper hitch.

Could someone post a measurement of their receiver height to the top of the inside of the receiver.

My model will be an F250 Lariat with Fx4 package. 7.3 gas

thanks in advance!

I was literally just outside trying to get measurements of my campers hitch to try and figure out which exact WDH size I need... trying to guess on unlevel ground is likely a recipe for disaster though...

So, not trying to hijack your thread, but can someone also list the height on a 250 6.7 with HCTT and camper package (3” receiver)?

My F250 22’ CCLB 7.3: top of the receiver is 22”. I have 20” lariat wheels on my truck. I got a 6” drop weigh safe. The bottom of the drop is 13” off the ground.

B & W Stow & Go are pretty versatile and made in the USA. I'd go with 7" on the drop, you can always raise it for taller trailers, but you can't lower a 5" for lower trailers.

I have a 6” drop and it’s more than enough for every trailer I’ve come across. Definitely don’t need any more than that unless you want to drag it on approaches.

I'm just going to wait for truck before I order my drop hitch.

one post shows 22"
another post shows 24 3/8"

Ill probably go with B&W Tow&Stow 7" drop....but not keep it in the receiver (stow under rear seat). Dont want something hanging that far down on my truck.
