Hitch for lifted rig?

Truck’s been lifted with Rize 8” and on 37’s, need your guy’s recommendations on a hitch that’ll work with this setup.

I'd go with an 8" Rapid Hitch. They are defiantly one of the coolest hitches around and very strong. Most members here are sporting them.

BTW we need pics of the truck.

Damnit. I was hoping you'd be some where close. I've got a BRAND NEW Rapid Hitch with a 8" drop which I used for my Rize 8" on 37s.

I've got the same setup as you. Get the 10" Rapid Hitch with the stainless ball. Expensive, but a great product.

The rapid hitch is a great hitch but if you are like me the trailers I tow have different size ***** so the B&W tow and stow would be another choice also.

My truck only sports a 6" lift, but since my trailer is so low I use an 8" drop hitch (I am too poor to aford the super fancy Rapid Hitch).

Measure the center of your receiver, to the bottom of the trailer's coupler with the trailer sitting about level. That is roughly the amount of drop you will need. 6-10" is my guess depending on the trailer.
