What size Drop Hitch for a Superduty F250
 

2012 F250 Superduty (stock height) connecting to a 09' X star? How much drop do i need? I have to pick up the hitch on my way to pick the boat up.:o

Probably hard to tell without seeing it all together. Trailers and wheel and tires could cause fluctuations. I bet you would be safe with a 3-4" drop though

I use e rapid hitch. Can be adjusted once boat is hooked to the truck.

depends but the truck is a 4x4 and stock height id say just the standard 2 inch drop alomost level if its 2wd u might need one that goes up the frame height is very low on the later model superduty

my truck has a 2" lift kit and a 2" drop would be ideal to get hitch 18-21" off ground

The underside of the boat hitch is apprx 20", the top of the hitch received is almost the same (approx 20"). Which suggests that i need a 0 drop/rise hitch. Bdoes that make sense?

They make some straight out hitches. Usually they are 3 way(have 3 ball sizes depending on whatbwaybyoubput hitch into receiver)

Well I just picked up the standard 2" drop. This puts the trailer frame in line with the hitch receiver. Should be close enough for now.

Also I noticed the rating capacity in the 2" ball is 6000lbs. This is getting pretty close to the gross weight of the boat and trailer.

the 2" drop seems to work good. But I decided to go get a heavier receiver/hitch ball. The Receiver i got is rated 15000lbs and the 2" ball is rated for 10000lbs. So I think Im covered :)

I also use Rapid Hitch and would be lost without it.
