Nice, thank you. So what exactly is the measurement from the ground to the bottom of your boat trailer’s coupler when you have your boat hitched to your truck in the position you have your hitch set at?
If you’ve got an inch of lift in the rear and you’re still pulling that boat with only a 4” drop hitch that ain’t even in the lowest hole for the full four inches, you’re kinda doing a pretty good job of convincing me that I probably don’t even need anything more than that much drop and that if I ever did, that 5” drop B&W tow and stow would be plenty.
Is that all you tow with that halfton, or do you(or have you) ever needed the full four inch drop or even more?

Even when I pulled a little wave runner trailer I never dropped it the full amount.
I don’t have that measurement, and it’s going to be a week before I hook back up to the boat. With the boat I get about a inch, maybe a inch a half of squat. Do I need the 4”.. Nope 2” would of probably served me fine, but having the ability to go 4” in either way “ Up Or down” was why I went with the 4”. remember that ball set up and coupler was on my 3/4 ton with a 8” drop/rise in on a class 5 shank “ 2.5inch” since I kept my hitch I only had to spring for class 4 “ 2 inch “ shank. So I was out like 60$, well worth it to me. Don’t quote me on the classes and size”s, I could be wrong, but I know my 3/4 ton took a 2.5” and my 1/2 ton takes a 2”. I still have my 3/4 ton 8” drop in the garage, wife thinks I should sell it.... little does she know I’m keeping it for the next HD truck lolol
