8. Hitch height determination:
With trailer leveled and on level ground measure from the ground to the king pin box, “A” in Figure 17.
Secondly measure from the height of the inside of the truck bed, “B” in Figure 17. Dimensions “C” and “D” in
Figure 17 can be used to determine the amount of clearance over the side rails, as mentioned in Note 17.
Hitch Height = A – B + 2”
The 2” value is an estimate of suspension compression due to king pin weight of the trailer. This
compression could range between 1”-5” depending on the truck being used and the trailer being towed.
D – C + 2” > 6” as noted in Note 7.
