Blue Ox adjustment

[canadiankid]

Anybody with a Blue Ox WDH ever need a longer drop after buying a new TV. Can I just order a new drop? Been looking on line and all I can find is the entire unit. I know the local dealer will rape me if I buy from them!

Try eTrailer I think they have the drops, look in hitch parts section.

Thanks overloaded, found them there, just gonna go see what the local price is today and get it ordered.

Just go to a local hitch store they can accommodate you.

Let us know what prices you find. I love the Blue Ox and may be in need of a longer drop shank as well.

A little confused as to which one I'd need but the prices on line range from 150$ to 185$ U.S. and my dealership says they can for under 200$ Canadian so I'd lose money ordering it! Plus they said when I come in to pick up the trailer we can figure out what hitch works best and set it up there. Really the best case scenario.

I would agree.

I believe your new 2015 2500HD has an OEM receiver with a 2 1/2" pin box, which may/or may not effect the size of your new draw bar purchase preference (2" or 2 1/2"). I'm guessing that your prior 2009 1500 OEM receiver came with a 2" pin box.

The 2 1/2" receiver comes with a steel adapter sleeve that will accept a 2" draw bar. If you elect to stay with a 2" draw bar I would confirm the "Weight Distribution Mode limit" if using the adapter sleeve, and that it still meets your TT's "loaded" tongue weight. The adapter sleeve may have a weight specification sticker on it (or refer to owners manual).

What I don't know is if the 2 1/2" to 2" adapter sleeve has the same tongue weight limits as a OEM receiver with a 2" pin box.

Just food for thought...

It does rustic and for sure I'll get the 2 1/2. Especially if I can't sell the 2inch, I can keep that one in case I ever need to pull it with a half ton.
