Default Drop Hitch
Hey guys. Where is the most affordable place you've found to buy a drop hitch for our lifted cherokee's? Mine is dropped 7" and it still pulls my sled trailer at an angle. On ebay I'm only seeing them in the $120 range. Thanks.

When you get to the big drops "They Ain't No Cheap Ones) and the larger the capacity the higher they go.

You could just make one. I've made a few of them, nothing to it.

Just turn your ball hitch upside down.



Of course it's more fun to get a lift.

That would be too low. I have it on a riser and it still is too low.
