Question:

I have a 2001 ford f250 with what appears to be a aftermarket rear bumper and was wondering where do I measure to find out if its a 8 or 10 inch ?

Deep drop bumpers will usually hang about 10 inches below the bottom of the frame where the hitch would attach to. If you measure that distance and its about 10 inches you would need a deep drop bumper hitch like Curt Hitch part # C15316.

If you determine you do not have a drop bumper you could use the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25230.

For a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip, I would recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, part # 989900. This is a kit which includes 2 ball mounts, a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, and a hitch pin and clip.
