I have a 2021 f150 4 super crew with a 6.5 foot bed. I optioned it with all the max trailer tow and tow tech stuff. I do not have the need to tow anything specific but I want to be prepared for anything my truck can handle. I would like to get a B&W hitch but I’m unsure how much drop I should get. I do plan on leveling the truck 2.5” and doing a bit bigger of a tire. Rn the top of the hitch reciver sits at about 20”. Should I get the 3” or the 5” drop hitch? Also would y’all recommend the 2 ball or the 3 ball setup? Thank you

Have a B&W w 5” drop. Looks fine, not too big. I have a basic utility trailer that needs a 5” drop. My boat trailer needs a 1” drop. Its nice to have the flexibility.

Do you have any pictures? I an leaning toads the 5” just to be safe but I don’t want to worry about it being to low and end up scraping in driveways or backing over curbs. Thank you!

I just have an off the Home Depot shelf 2” drop on mine and it works for everything. If you are towing an RV or something really heavy you are going to have a weight distribution hitch.

Apologies, for the delay. I've got around 11" of clearance w the 5' drop. Went w the chrome to match the chrome package. Not disappointed. Also bought a 2 pack of pin locks.
