How much of a drop for hitch ball mount?

[Small Town Raptor]

2" drop

2" drop

I'm surprised how close to level the jet ski trailer looks with a 2" drop.

I got this cuz I have power boat, jet skis, cataraft trailer and drift boat:

That's pretty much what I've been shopping. Does that have any rattle in it when you're towing?

This what I went with. Works very well.

No, it’s a good fit. I know a little spendy but I think worth it.

I have used one of these in the past on a utility trailer. You know how much they can bounce around empty and this eliminated the rattle in receiver. For the price it pays for itself the first quiet ride you take! Easy enough to make one up yourself as well but $20 is cheap enough to save your time...

Get a weigh safe hitch

For simplicity, a 2” drop hitch works great for a stock Raptor. Get a quality adjustable 6” if you plan on towing different trailers.
