Towing - Ball mount

How many inches is your ball mount dropped to keep your trailer level? Right now I have a 2" drop and the toung is way to high. Which is better a 4" or 6" drop?

It depends on what you are towing, I have 2", 4" and 6" drops, my big trailer uses a 4", my smaller open trailer uses a 6"

I'll save you a ton of headaches. Purchase a pintle receiver and the correct ball attachment.
Pintle - http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...70_22067_22067
2" Ball for pinlte - http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...9601_200329601
Northern Tool has a 10K lbs hitch for arounf $50 that adapts to the receiver -not pictured on their website. You can change out the ball size if needed.
The isn't pretty, but it allow you to adjust as requirted to correctly level your trailer.
