Question:

Recently lifted my Chevy HD 6 inches, so looking for a hi lo down hitch strong enough to pull my 6000 lb travel trailer camper looks like it will pull 10,000 lb with 1000 toung weight but it says not for use with trailers. ?

Expert Reply:

The best solution for towing your trailer level with a lifted truck is a ball mount that provides the amount of drop you need. This is preferred over using a high/low hitch adapter since it will not cause any loss of hitch capacity, which can occur with adapters.

I linked our main page for ball mounts as well as an article that will help you select the correct one to allow your hitched travel trailer to remain level. We offer both fixed ball mounts with drop, such as # C45070 from Curt with 6-inches of drop, and adjustable ball mounts like # C45900. Just click on the amount of drop you need, once you've done the measurement.
