Looking to borrow a 2" box hitch with about an 8" drop with 2-5/16" if you got one. Looking to buy one locally as well if you know of a place that has it and can handle 1000# tongue weight and at least 8000# trailer weight. Rich, do you have one for your new F450?

Don't waste your time with call "Pep Boys" or "Autozone" comments. Most are for 500# tongue weight and 5000# max trailer weight. There are some fat chicks on this board that exceed that.

 

i got this shit, zip trailer im mechanicsville has an 8" drop in stock thatl meet your needs. call em up 804 746 5020

 

Coo. Didn't have their number. Will call.

 

hang on, you need a trailer ball and hitch to use?

or do you need the whole towing hitch?

the one on the back of the truck has a 2-5/16" ball and has about an 8" drop on it (heavy enough for the car+box+lots of crap in the box)....

more than welcome to borrow

 

That's exactly what I need! Have a 2" receiver, same as what is on your F350. Can I pick it up from your work tomorrow? Holla with a PM of the exact addy as I know generally where it is and am just around the corner.

 

Called Zip. Draw Tite part # 4283 for 8" drop with 1-1/4" shank for 2-5/16" ball. Not in stock but they apparently can get it before the weekend.

 

agri supply?

 

Found one. Having it shipped from Utah as there are no dealers on the east coast (yet). 1500# tongue weight and 10,000# trailer weight capacity with 8" drop. Weighs about 20# and is 30% stronger than steel. Has locks and self-storage (flip it around to protect my shins from shattering), which I felt was a necessity. This beast should last a very long time!




... and yes, it was expensive.

Should be good for people who borrow my trailer and adjust to their own truck's ride height.

 

oh my damn thats a nice hitch

 

A bit on the bling side, but that strong aluminum only comes in one color. Ordered a WeatherGuard truck box as well, but in black 'cause I don't wanna be blingin' all over the damn place.
