2024 Eagle Trailer Hitch Height

[Jmaarsingh]

I own a 2024 Eagle Travel Trailer model 312BHOK. I was pulling it with a 2018 Ram 1500 with a weight distribution hitch. I recently bought a 24 Ford F250. I know I need to redo my hitch due to new truck but I don't know, can't find the hitch height. Currently we are using the trailer and can't get an accurate measurement. I also can't seem to find the measurement online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Per Jayco tech specs, it’s 33-1/2”. Seems high to me as my two Jayco TT’s have been around 24-25”. There’s an app on the Apple store for Jayco Sales info that includes the specs of all units for each year.

Can you not just measure the hitch height while your set up level. Sorry if that was a stupid question

A lot has to do with a possible different suspension system on the two trucks too. And if your previous truck was two wheel drive and you updated to a four wheel drive. The most important part is meshing the two pieces up on a somewhat level plane when rigged. It may be that you may not be able to use the same hitch, which may not have the correct hitch shank for the drop, if your truck is higher. You can actually update that portion of a current hitch, with additional length and additional holes to offset the increased truck height.

I also know from my own personal upgrade that the trailer hitch coupler location created a bit of a problem when I upgraded. If you have the under the frame coupler, a standard reply for hitch height may not apply. What type or brand hitch arrangement are you currently using now? You may be limited in adjustment with the E 2 Fastway hitch arrangement without speaking with the manufacturer directly. The frame bracket height coupled with the amount of washers at the hitch needed to be changed with mine so that the bars would work correctly with tension on the brackets and in keeping with the two units level when towing.

while that ball height does seem high in post 2's picture, I think that is the new trend. Even my 21mml has a ball height of 25.5" when in the past they were all around 18".


This caused me to have to buy a new receiver as the one I had was too low when pointing down and too high when pointing up (plus than it hit the tailgate in up position).



Than I went out and replaced the whole hitch and switched to a Curt 4P system.

What kind of WD hitch do you have? The Husky Centerline was great for lots of adjustments. Once setup/hooked up you want the truck and trailer sitting as level/straight as possible. The actual hitch height is a good starting point but adjustments will probably be needed for that perfect setup...the ball should also have a tilt down on it with WD hitches.
