Question Drop Hitch Size

Hey everyone,

I am planning on towing a small UHaul trailor soon and i was just wondering if anyone could give me a recomendation on the size drop hitch i need. my turck has a 6 inch suspension lift and 36's, so naturally i would think a 6 inch drop would work. however my concern is with the trailor being so low to the group would an 8 in drop work better? i'll probably be towing it for 5-6 hours so any help is much appreciated. thanks!

Jeremy

Probably going to need closer to 8-10", you added tires that are alot taller than stock also.

Here is a link on how to measure.

If you can go by U-Haul and measure the trailer.
