What Weigh Safe drop size do I need and how do I find it?
Weigh Safe Hitches are available in a 4” and 6” drop/rise. As far as specifications go, we recommend at least 11” of clearance from the bottom of your installed ball mount. Here is how you can determine which size drop will work best for your vehicle:
1. Measure from the top of your tow vehicle to the ground (make sure you are on relatively level ground)
2. Subtract drop height (all of our drops measure 3” longer than the listed drop length; 4” drop = 7” in total, 6” = 9” and so on)
3. The total that you get after subtracting the drop is the amount of clearance you would have with that particular drop
22″ (top of receiver to ground) – 11″ (8″ drop + extra 3″) = 11″ (of clearance)
* It is important to know that this is a generic recommendation and there are other factors that could impact the distance from the bottom of the hitch to the ground.
