Question:
i need help picking out a tow hitch setup i just use my bumper as of now. i have a 17 ram 1500 v6 i tow my boat 75 miles 8 times a year they weigh about 7500, just bought the sumosprings for help. i may be towing a small work trailer this winter. I want to level the boat when towing, its to high on the bumper ball for the dual axels to be level.

Hey William, the Draw Tite hitch part # 41948 would be a great option for your 2017 Ram as it has plenty of towing capacity and is easy to install without any drilling. This will fit under the bumper too so it will be easier to tow your trailer level as well.
