- The height difference between the center of the receiver and the center of the baseplate clevis becomes more critical when employing a surge braking system like the NSA ReadyBrake or Blue Ox AutoStop. ReadyBrake and ReadyBrute Elite requirements state baseplate no more than two inches high or low from the receiver and AutoStop requirements state baseplate no more than one or two inches lower but never higher than the receiver. Level is ideal with both systems.
- Maybe not a biggie but I would. In line insure so dipping diving or climbing to a lesser degree than say 6 inches though.
- Probably not. The instructions with our Blue Ox say that the MH should be no more than 4" higher than the toad, but the toad should never be higher that the MH. MH 2" higher, no problem. Without it, just one less piece of equipment to deal with.
