Since trucks can have so many different size tires and suspensions you will want to take a couple measurements to make sure you select the right ball mount.

Park your trailer and truck on level ground. First, measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on yoru trailer htich. Then measure the trailer when it is leve from the ground to the bottomm of the coupler on the trailer. If the measurement for the hitch is greater you will need a ball mount that has a drop. If the couplder height is greater you need a ball mount with a rise.
