For those of you with a 6" lift on your tow vehicle, what size drop hitch ar you using? I know I need to measure, but my boat isn't located at home right now, so I was going to start with the general consensus.
Tow vehicle is a 2022 Silverado 1500 - 6" Suspension lift, 35's. I'm thinking 8-10" drop hitch, but need to measure to be accurate.
Any input appreciated.

I think most 1/2 tons at factory height use about 2" drop, 3/4 ton probably a 4". just add lift to what worked before is how I have always done it.

I have a 2.5" level / lift on my F150. I'm using a 3 & 3/4" drop basically a 4" drop. It keeps my boat and utility trailer perfectly level when loaded.

I've got a Gen Y Mega Hitch 16k with 12.5" drop on my 3/4 Ton Ram. It has 37's on it. It's the best hitch ive owned. I like having the wide range of adjustments and can flip it for 2" or 2.5"
