tow hitch help needed

Hey I just installed a curt tow hitch and I need to know what draw bar everyone is using, I was thinking about a 3 inch rise. Is that too much?

It all depends your trailer height, tongue weight and weight inside the vehicle. You need to level your trailer and take some measurements. Difficult to estimate sag. Best thing to do is load it up and see how level your trailer is. A basic ball mounts is only $20 so it's not a big investment to have a couple sizes on hand.

I have the same hitch and use a 3/4" rise ball mount for a snowmobile trailer and 2 3/4" rise for a boat trailer if that helps you.
