Expert Reply:

I agree that 6" of drop will likely be good for your truck with a 6" lift, but to verify you can take some measurements as seen in the attached photo.

The etrailer Ball Mount # e87DR and the Curt # C45064 both have the same specs of 6" drop, 7,500lb weight rating, pre-torqued 2" ball, and include pin and clip. That said, I prefer the etrailer mount since it comes with a corrosion-resistant black nickel coating on the ball and pin, which holds up to salt and elements better than the chrome ball and pin. I also think the matte black finish is nice, which blends in with the OEM appearance of most vehicles.

Also, etrailer has designed and tested this ball mount ourselves, so you can trust that it is a good product.
