I don't know what hitch fits the frame. I have no need to pull a civilian trailer with my truck.

I actually have a 30ft trailer from the Navy that was used as a mobile hearing tester. It has a 2-5/16" ball hitch so the pintle hitch would not work towing this thing. So actually it is a Military trailer just with the ball hitch.

Here's some pictures of my hitch.

Moved the hitch question to its own thread.

I'll be happy to fab one to your exact specifications. I can almost certainly make one a good deal stronger than commercial offerings at considerably less cost. I'll be going to OK within the next month.

Here's a pic showing what I made for my pickup truck.

I'm in a bind... I need to put a civy receiver on the deuce to haul hay for Dad, before he gets injured using his little 1/2 ton to haul 10,000lb loads of hay. ( I plan to use the curt #___, with 15k rating)
My problem is...
I'm looking to see if a 10" drop hitch will be enough ?? (with 395's).
I've seen 12" (10,000lb) and up to 18" (but with 6,000lb rating) drop hitch.
what do you suggest?
(so i can get it ordered asap) to pull a 20' deckover trailer and get my hitch height to about 24".
Thank you for any help. ( my truck is NOT bobbed, this was just the most recent hitch post i've found)

Please take note that the hitch rating counts the weight of the trailer as well...

I understand, I think i've seen someone post about a 6" drop (with NDTs) worked ok, but was that 9x20 or 11x20.
Thats where my question was to how much drop "with 395s". Still searching, just not finding.

What is the dimension from the bottom of your frame rail to the ground?

I have never measured, but I believe the 395's raised stock height about 4-5". Stock height being 37" from ground to bottom of frame to roughly 42".

Here is how the pieces went together

Wow.... nice looking set up.
I went ahead and ordered the Curt 15530 (still $185 with free shipping), and found an 8" drop hitch i had from another vehicle.
I still hope that's enough drop (with 395s).
I ordered a 24v to 12v military to civilian trailer connector, so i should be good to go.

I got a phone call this morning from the place i ordered my Curt 15530 hitch from.
They said they replaced the 15530 with the 15400. It's rated 17,000lb with 2550lb TW. (still 2" but looks WAY beefier). I'll wait for the bill to see if they jacked up the price to match.
The 15530 was $185.
The 15400 is priced at $214 (It's listed for $444 MSRP direct from Curt).

please post up some pics when you get it mounted I think this would be great to pull my popcorn trailer with.

WOW... the hitch arrived about an hour ago (that is some FAST shipping).
It's HUGE and it looks AWESOME.
Great welds, powder coat looks nice, not too much shipping rash.
9/16" grade 8 hardware. It's going to be really fun installing (by myself).

I'll make a wooden cradle to balance on a floor jack and make magic happen.
