Welcome.. Thats a nice ride you have there... Nice Set up for the street... I love offroading, so the only thing I would change if it was mine would be less rim, more tire... Sweet looking rig though...

Thank you for the kind feedback.
Tires are 40's on 24's.

Put the boat behind it this week. It's a lot of work getting things hooked up to this truck. Once I got the boat on, the trailer didn't want to come off and can't swing out the spare tire on the rear because of the trailer being in the way. Oh well. It's worth it!

nice looking ride man!

how big is your drop and where did you get it? I am looking at about a 20" drop to fit all of my trailers with my h2. i can get away with about 15 for the main trailer i tow though. the boat trailer and the camper are really low though lol.

what other details do you have?

Steve,
I have a 10" lift and 40" tires on 24" rims, and I find the 18" drop to be just about right. It seems to work for my boat and my 27' travel trailer. Getting the boat off the ball is an issue. Not sure why, but it seems to stick. I'm going to try some lube on it this weekend. Maybe it is because it is new. I have to take the receiver out of the truck to get the ball to drop from the boat.

The hitch is from Action.
Results for BIG DROP HITCHES

I bought mine from 4wheel Parts. It's a little cheaper than Action's site:
Action Accessories Part 1116-8 - Action 18in. Black Big Drop Ball Mount

I did some google work and found a 10% off promo code too, so it brought the price down to about $137 or something like that.
