Ground to top of receiver measurement?

[Mark Halwa]

I have ordered a 2021 3500 Longhorn crew cab, srw with auto-levelling air suspension. Wondering if someone who has the same truck would provide the measurement from the top of the receiver to the ground. It will make ordering a new 2 1/2" stinger for my travel trailer a little easier as I'm not sure if I need a 4" drop, or 8".

Hey while you have your measuring tape out, could I also ask for confirmation that the distance from ground to top of the box is 59.6" so I order the right truck topper? Thanks in advance....

My understanding is you want to be 14 inches high for a typical TT. When I did this for my 2500, a 10 inch drop was the right answer... this is measured on a 2500 limited (but not mega nor air suspension).

Do you intend to replace the tires with something bigger? If so, you may want to modify your request to include a similar setup.

I could measure my 2020 3500 Limited CCLB with air but I have slightly larger tires on it.

I haven’t found any typical height for a travel trailer coupler. Each truck and trailer I setup is unique. You ultimately want the trailer to travel level.

I believe my truck matches what you are looking for. See sig. I did not have my phone with me for a photo, but it measured 22.5 inches. Using the 2500 photo above as a reference, mine measured 22.5 inches at the same point his measured 24 15/16. Only disclaimer for mine is that I run 40 lbs air pressure in the rear tires.
