What size Trailer Hitch??
So I'm driving my 08 JK 4 door back across the country from Colorado to Florida and I was curious as to what hitch I need to tow a 4x8 Uhaul trailer (the smallest cargo trailer) and I have 35" Mud Grapplers. I know I need an aftermarket to lower it down so it can tow the trailer levely?sp What kind do I need and where can I get one?
Thanks
Thanks

Do you mean the receiver or the ball mount? (2" Receiver)
U-Haul requires the Ball to be no higher than 24", additionally they will not let you tow with a soft top or no top... Hard top only.
Some stupid thing about the possibility of being ejected out of the vehicle.
I have a 2.5" TF lift and I got a ball mount with a 3.5" drop.
The ball itself can either be 1 7/8" or 2".
The trailer will also be a 4 pin connector, make sure you have the right harness.
Good Luck!

You don't need to go that crazy. The trailer does not need to be exactly level.
Get a Reese Ball Mount with a 5" drop and you'll be just fine.
Here is a pic of my rig with a small U-Haul Trailer.
2.5" Lift, 35" MTR/Kevlar. The ball mount was a 3.5" drop.
