I'm tearing up my hitch...Help!

[jesseindallas]

Bought the hitch adapter to even out my trailer. With it on or off, I'm either beating my hitch post up, or dragging the rear of my cargo trailer. What can I do?

Looks like you have an adapter then the hitch. Why don't you just get the proper drop hitch. Then the hitch will be much closer to the RV and less chance of dragging.

Looks like you have a 2" drop hitch and the "adapter" drops it another 4". So, if the 2" drop was dragging the trailer, tey a 4 inch drop. If that doesn't work, try a 6" drop.

Not a expert on this. But some have put axle on bottom of springs instead of top. Flip my axle video.
It's not as simple as putting axle on bottom of springs. Need to install new spring saddles on top of axle. May also need to do some wiring for brakes.

remove the jack and install a swing away hitch jack.if you raise trailer you will also raise center of gravity

Thanks for your quick reply Ron. The adapter is not moving, it's in there tight. The problem is that whenever I go over any uneven surface, the bottom of my hitch post, scrapes the road and send sparks flying. How can I adjust the overall ground clearance of my cargo trailer so it sits higher? And is that the only option?

Welcome to RV.NET.

How much drop did you get to level out your trailer? You may need a clamp to stop movement of adapter.
