I have an 08 3/4 ton chevy (2500 HD ) and my factory hitch is a class V rated for 1000# tongue weight. Not sure if mine is unusual or not for the weight rating.

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)

With the GM 3/4 and 1-ton trucks no weight distributing hitch is needed or advised and they can tow up to 13,000 lbs. with a ball hitch. The frames on these trucks are considerably stronger than with smaller trucks, SUVs, and automobiles.
Check the towing guide from the manufacturer as it should state for your model whether or not a WDH is needed.

Im moving about 350 miles next week. I need to drop the front of my trailer about 2 inches but have ran out of room on my drop hitch. No where near me has a WDH drop long enough. But I can get a standard 8 inch drop locally. This will make my trailer level but Im concerned about not having the WDH. Do I really need it, pulling a bumper pull 7K pound trailer with a 3/4 truck?
