Hitch height on 2008 Monaco Knight

My RV is stored away from me. I am getting all the stuff to tow my Jeep Wrangler. (Blue Ox towbar, RVI brake, wiring kit, etc.) The Jeep is lifted 2.5 inches with an aftermarket bumper. I need to know the hitch height on the 2008 Monaco Knight so I can see if I need an adapter to raise the hitch height.

Does anyone know how high the center of the Monaco hitch is to the pavement? I can go to the coach over the weekend if ya'll don't know. Thanks in advance.

    Just in case anybody is curious, the hitch height is 19.5 inches on the coach. The Jeep is 24.5 inches. I ordered the 6 inch riser. I can't wait to give it a whirl. The freedom of having a toad will be nice.

    hmmm, we tow a TJ wrangler (stock suspension, 2" body lift, 33" tires) behind an 08 knight...
    With a blue ox towbar, aftermarket bumper, and the cheap bolt to the bumper towbar adapters...

    Afraid I do not know that number though. The jeep is about 2" higher than I would like it to be to line up the towbar.
    But we've 15k miles towing it with zero issues.

    YUP....exactly right....if I remember from my Blue system the Ox company recommends within 1 or 1/2 inch of level when system hooked up

    Thanks Boatcop. I was trying to check to see if I needed the riser or not. If I know how high the hitch receiver is then I can measure the Jeep bumper height in my garage and order the right riser if I need it.

    No worries, I will go out this weekend and measure. Thanks.

    The hitches rarely line up exactly with the tow-bar.

    There are a myriad of drop or rise hitch inserts to ensure a level line-up with any towed vehicle.

    There are even adjustable inserts, so one insert can work in any situation.
