I am not able to measure the trailer what size drop would be good?
Willieboy -- Bondo is not being rude, but is expressing his feelings, like I often do, that people can't seem to figure out this simple stuff or they ask a question that we can't possibly answer since they provided no useful information and expect use to magically know every nook and cranny of their boat/trailer/tow vehicle. Now no offense is intended here but I like to use as an example, the homeowner who is about to carpet a room. I think it is fairly common knowledge that carpet has been traditionally sold by the square yard. If you go into a carpet store these days you will see carpet priced by the square foot AND square yard. One day I asked a sales person why they now included square foot pricing. His response nearly blew me away. "People cannot figure square yards". Not much of an endorsement for our school system is it and is an even greater incentive for us to go to the metric system where you don't have these rediculous number conversions. In the case of this trailer, even if it is not handy, one can go to any boat dealer showroom and they would gladly let you measure the coupler height on a similar trailer with the same size tires. It's just that simple. So while it is easy to come to this form, ask a question, get an answer, and never thank the person for a response, that person never learns the technicalities because they never have to do anything for themselves. What I find odd is that people ask lots of questions about common fasteners. Good heavens -- doesn't anyone look around when they are in a Home Improvement store? The vast majority of fix it stuff for boats is no farther away than the good hardware store and at 1/2 the price of going to a marine outfitter. Those that visit the forum need to simply "think" a little before asking a question. It is very frustrating to have to "drag" information from people to get the entire picture. If details were provided up front many posts could be just a couple of responses rather than the 10 or more we often see on otherwise simple things.

Why not just measure the height of the reciever,....
Then the coupler, after you adjust the jack to level...
ya he was
