8" drop hitch to get level with a TT on 3/4 truck??? I have a dodge dually (factory standard taller than your 3/4 ton) and only need about 3" of drop to be level with a TT using torsion axles (read low ground clearance)
You got to have at least a 4" lift on that truck. Bad idea to be doing serious towing with that anyway but really bad idea to do without all the help you can get. If the truck wasn't lifted then 7k# TT properly balanced wouldn't need WDH with a Dodge 3/4 (used to do it all the time with an '04 CTD 2500)
My truck is stock and my TT STILL sits a little high with my 8" WD drop...
To the OP - per the Dodge owners manual WD is 'recommended' for anything over 5k lbs, however you see people towing construction equipment day after day with our trucks without it... Just sayin'... ;)
