How much Hitch drop - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I want to know how much hitch drop all of you with a 3 inch lift are using. I saw a thread for trucks with no lift and I'm just wondering what would be a good amount of drop to tow a small utility trailer. And also good places to buy them?

im using TOWPOWER and you can but them at Wal-Mart for $20 or so im not sure how much the 4in drop would cost, probably the same.

Yes $20 will pick you up a Reese Stater kit (receiver with hitch already installed, and cotter pin). I have a 2" drop on my truck, so I'm guessing 4" would be about right for a 3" lift.

I'm using a 3.5 or 4" drop. Can't remember at the moment and I took the stupid sticker off it. I had a 2" drop, but it wasn't enough so I returned it for the larger one.
