So tomorrow I get to cash in my stocking stuffer - I plan on bringing my old tires home on a small flatbed that I am borrowing from a neighbor. As I stand in the auto parts store calculating which hitch I need to buy, I realize my hitch height will be increasing on the way home - DOH!

Anyone know what kind of net hitch height change I will be looking at after the work tomorrow? I can probably give it a good guess but just curious what the gang thought.

Starting with 2011 JKU Rubi and stock tires.

Returning with 2.5" procomp lift and 35x12.5x17 tires + ~ 250lb of bumpers in the back of the jeep. I guess I could put them on the trailer as well I just know it will be raining and not sure how wet I want to let the box and instructions get.

Thoughts?

 

Can't go wrong with a adjustable...

 

My guess would be about 4 in. 2.5 from the lift and 1.5 from the tires.

 

I've found 3 different ones that adjust ... unfortunately they only focus on 4-10" plus or minus. Cannot find any that are even through 3" that adjust.

Will just have to buy two with the ball that I can switch between the two! I will post back with the change in size for the next clown in my shoes.
