I have a 4" lift now and everything is OK regarding hitch/receiver height. After I mod my truck again it will be about 4" too high for the receiver to line up and I will be needing a drop of somekind. Keep in mind I use weight distribution. I did find some units like this:

But, these say they can't be used with sweight distribution...why?
Please advise and thanks in advance.

Super duty is already high... 4 inch lift they look sweet....6 inch max.. leave it alone... Bigger may be better, but Higher isnt better.....I know I see alot of lifted trucks in the Dune and the boat seen, some think the higher they are the bigger their wang is.....

Hi,
There are hitches that have the receiver at the same hieght as the square tubing - like the one that you have now, and they have receivers that have the receiver mounted 4" lower than stock location, for trucks that have been raised.
Here is a link to JcWhitney where they show a receiver that is extra tall, to compensate for taller springs.
You can also adjust the hitch shank to go up or down, and get an extra tall shank, so the ball mount can be up to 8" below the square tube opening in the hitch receiver.
You might want to call the 800 number here, and ask if they have a drop weight distribution shank that is the length that you want. They should sell them or tell you that can not be made!
And you could also look into the Torklift hitches that have twin receivers on the hitch, are rated for a tremendous amount of weight, and you could use the lower receiver in your application.
Fred.
