Recently purchased 2010 KZ Sportsmen Classic, Model 14RK, 15' 10 " bumper to ball-coupler, leaf-springs, 13" wheels, electric brakes (with 7-way connector), GVWR 2700 lbs., 3" frame height, A-frame jack. More specs: www.kz-rv.com
Tow vehicle: 1997 Ford Explorer 4-door, 5.0 liter V-8, all wheel drive, transmission cooler (radiator-type) was factory installed with original tow package, recently changed all lubes to synthetic (transmission, transfer case, front / rear differentials, power-steering fluid, radiator coolant and thermostat, re-built upper / lower ball joints, new front shock absorbers), plan to replace all brake fluid, upon replacement of front brake pads. Electric brake controller: Tekonsha Primus IQ #90160.
Class III Draw-Tite Round Tube hitch #75083, rated 600 lb tongue wgt / 6000 lb GVWR, with use of weight-distribution sway control.
YET TO PURCHASE:
Reese #66024 Weight-Distribution 350 Mini Sway Controller (for light weight trailer applications)
How will I obtain approximate 14" ball-height to maintain a level trailer during towing, with use of the weight-distribution hitch that plugs directly into the 2" receiver coupler of the Class III Draw-Tite ?? The Draw-Tite will mount just below the Ford's step-bumper (the bottom of step-bumper has a 17" height above ground level.
Bewildered, John
