New vehicle hitch set up question
Hey y'all. I need to update my signature, about 2 months ago, I traded the 2000 Ford Expedition in and bought a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab, 1500 4x4. I took the trailer for the first test...

Hi moss. Thanks for your reply. I see your in my neck of the woods :)
I agree with your thoughts. I went ahead and ordered the 1" rise ball last night after confirming my shank diameter.
There was a comment in the reviews or possibly prior in this thread that the standard ball mount like i have now actually has a 1/4" rise built into it, so the 1" riser is actually 3/4" higher than the standard. I measured the standard one when i took it off the hitch head and confirmed that is accurate. I will measure the rise on the new ball when i get it and if it's 1" then the above is correct. If it's 1-1/4 then it's a full 1"over standard
I believe i have my bars and head angle set correctly. The truck sits pretty level when hitched. The back is down a little bit but not much. It's hard to tell because Chevrolets do sit front lower than the back when unloaded. Maybe that's so they level when loaded? I guess that's why leveling kits are popular for the Chevrolets.
Thanks again for all the replies.
