Re: [A/S] Hensley - receiver height & bar drop




John,

I am towing a '75 Sov with a 2000 F350 4x4.  My unloaded receiver height 
is 21" to the top of the port.  When I ordered the HA I just gave them 
the model of the trailer and the model ot the truck and they shipped a 
6" drop stinger which is as close as it gets.  The trailer rides a tad 
high at the bows but 2" less (which is the next size they offer) would 
be too low.

Don't forget that the ball top sits almost 6-1/2" above the stinger 
receptacle on the hitch.

Thanks for reminding me that I've wanted to take these measurements now 
that I have a good level surface (in my barn) to work with.  Prior to 
getting this place I've had to rely on the old Mark I Eyeball to find a 
level parking lot.

Matt
