Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 10/05/2025
Question:
Hello, I have a winnabago trailer that when level is 17 1/2 in to the center of the ball. Im looking at the reese 21536 and im looking for a match to a 2004 4runnner w/a a V8 that has a hitch height of 17 1/2 in to the center of the reciever. with 200lb on it it sinks about 1inch Question. Should I flip the receiver aver and mount the ball on the other side to allow for the sag? Thanks, Dave

Hey Dave! Although we don't carry the 21536 the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # DT49MR is almost identical. This has a 2" drop and a 3/4" rise when flipped over. Flipping the ball mount into the rise position will keep you close to/right at level with the little bit of rear sag you're experiencing.
Any big trips coming up with your Winnebago?

Hey Dave, how did things go after flipping the Draw-Tite ball mount into the rise position on your 4Runner? Did it keep your Winnebago level once you added the tongue weight? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar combo.
