Ray, measure from the ground to the top of your receiver and compare it to your trailer’s coupler or ring height when level. The # WS82ER has 6 inch of drop adjustment in 1 inch increments, so you’ll pick the slot that gets those two measurements even. That way your trailer rides level and brakes evenly.
What type of trailer are you pulling?
