Adjustable Trailer hitch gmc 2500 4” lift on 37” which one to buy?

[Albert]

Ok just got the lift kit and 37”on. I tow a toy hauler in the winter and the boat in the summer which drop should i get for the hitch? 8” drop? Any brands RDP like , dislike? Any help would be appreciated thanks . I also would like to use the sway bar controller for the toy hauler . I had a drawtite trailer hitch w my other truck for the toy hauler I don’t think there will be enough adjustment on it for the 4”lift

I had to get a reese Weight Distribution Shank for my toyhauler and I got a B&W drop down for my regular trailers. when I lifted my truck. I found it on e-trialer to match my current hitch. They had all different brands so you need to crossreference to make sure it fits.

Thanks for the link on this ! Do you think this may work as well so I don’t have to buy two hitches ?

That doesn't look very beefy imo. If you were towing jetski's or a bike rack maybe but I wouldn't trust a towhauler with that.

Looks like I will need to buy the drop down shank for the toy hauler and another drop down hitch receiver for the boat the one I have is adjustable but too short .

you just spent 8-12 k on a lift kit/wheels/tires. Spend a couple hundard on a solid hitch and not that thing.

Measure the height of the ball mount on your toy trailer with it sitting level, then go to your truck and and another 1-2 inches to the height of what you measures for the sag you will get with the trailer hooked up. If running a weight distribution set up you can get most of the sag out out it with the chains so go an inch. Then you can get the measurement to you hitch and the height of the ball to get you where you need to be drop wise.

We have bullet proof on some of our work trucks. Solid hitch never had any issues. If you want something beefy and a little more fancy I would go with Gen-Y. I have one on my truck and love it. Its a beast

Never had a problem with B&W! We have used gooseneck, fifth wheel and regular hitch products pulling trailers up to fifty feet.

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Curt has a few nice, affordable options. If you have the multi-pro tailgate though, I'd definitely suggest the B&W model specifically for the multi-pro tailgate.

Another vote for Bulletproof Hitches.
Solid built, lots of options.
I believe they even have stabilizer bars for those that need huge drop hitches.
Another hitch I've used that I like is the Shocker air ride units.
I have one for towing our toy hauler with the semi-takes the semi chassis shock away from the RV.
It is also well built and they have a lot of options for weight distribution, pintle, etc.

Any pics of the truck

Depends on your weight. I’ve had 3 Fast Way hitches. I don’t know more than 12,000 never had a failure.

Very clean. Nice work.

Gen-y was my choice, great options but not cheap.

Bulletproof

 

[H20 Toie]

Another vote for bulletproof. my suburban has 37" tires and i had a cool aluminum 6" drop that wasn't enough so just went with the 12" drop bulletproof, now i have all the bases covered

 

[Willie B]

. I have had various drop pitch necessities… Which is why I own 4 different drop hitches… If I know what I’m towing… I just grab the appropriate hitch… I’m not big on the looks of the hitches that have four different balls on them …. Everything I used to tow … uses 2 1/2 inch balls.

 

[Albert]

Thx for all the responses , I ended up going w bulletproof drop hitch

 

[HNL2LHC]

Was checking out Bulletin proof at SEMA this year. I would consider this route as well..

 

[Albert]

My bulletproof drop hitch came in and did not disappoint! Just like RDP thanks for the advise!
