Need a Hitch

[MSDT-99517]

Looking to buy a weight distribution hitch. I have a 17 F250 with a 3 inch receiver and have a 6 inch lift. Any recommendations? Brand? Type?

According to the 2017 Super Duty product Information Guide page 5: "No need for a weight-distributing hitch for most configurations when towing up to the maximum conventional trailer rating of the truck - just attach the trailer and go". (although it don't mention what "most configurations" means)

Does the 6 inch lift cause an increased need for a weight distribution hitch?

Also, if your lift used replacement leaf springs you might want to consider airbags to bring back some of the weight capacity lost by the softer lift springs

after towing a 32ft 11k trailer with a 10" lift and 40's - get airbags as the aftermarket spring don't have capacity and even with blocks only extra leverage makes load seem heavier- get the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution eay to hook up and works great

Will also say Equalizer. I don't care what you think your truck can do electronically it cannot. Some of the newer ultralight rv's and how high they sit are like sails driving down the road. I bought an equalizer for my Expedition pulling my little outback and still used it with my 350.
