Best Way to Determine Coupler Height on Trailer That is About to be Purchased
Updated 02/22/2019 | Published 02/21/2019
Question:
I have a 2018 Silverado crew cab with a 7inch rough country lift on 35inch tires...since I have the truck here I can measure the distance of my hitch...I will be buying a 2008 Forest River Sierra 23fspl toyhauler...is there a way I can find the measurement of the coupler when level WITHOUT having the unit here so I can determine the right /rise hitch Ill need?

Best option would be to contact the dealer selling the trailer and ask them to get that figure for you. They should be more than willing to take the measurement as it will allow you to buy it from them and drive it home. A longer shot might be to find a Forest River RV forum and ask around in there. Your truck sits up pretty high so an adjustable ball mount with a decent amount of drop like the Fastway part # FA49-00-5925 would most likely do the trick. It can do a drop of up to 10 inches and has both a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch diameter hitch ball. I attached a review video for this ball mount for you to check out as well.
