7. Hitch height determination:
With trailer leveled and on level ground measure from the ground to the bottom of the king pin box (“A” in
Figure 7
). Secondly
measure the height of the inside of the truck bed to the ground (“B” in
Figure 7
). Determine the amount of clearance over the
side rails ( “C” and “D” in
Figure 7
).
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”
