I have a 2013 Winnebago Itasca 26HE ON A F53 Ford chassis. My trailer hitch calls for no more than a 4 inch ball drop. The trailer I'm towing is a 7x12 aluminum with a 750 lb. motorcycle. The ball drop I need is appox. 10 inches to level out the trailer. What options do I have to get this ball drop on this hitch.

I think you can get as much as a 10" drop receiver, but it will not be cheap. Check web sites for one from Blue Ox.

This drop shank provides a 9" inch drop.

Is this what you need? 10" ball dropOne thing to keep in mind is that as the drop increases, the tongue weight usually decreases. The one above only has a 400 pound tongue weight limit.

FYI, when I put a 8" drop on my F53 I drag coming out of my driveway. 10" is a lot of drop.

I have a 6" drop on my Fleetwood and it drags in some spots but it is what I had to do to keep the tow bar with in the limits
