Re: Rapid Hitch sizing help

Well since the ball height is adjustable on the Rapid Hitch,

I have to assume you mean Which Drop Shank you should get????

With stock height and stock tires, I would think you need the 5" shank, the 10" would probably drag the ground through driveways.

Re: Rapid Hitch sizing help

thanks I did some trailer measuring,while the 3 inch would probably work I think I'll opt for the 5 3/4 version to be sure
