Class c towing 2022 Gladiator Max tow

[Needs a Washing]

Put 285 tires on Rubicon shocks and springs on front. Added LOD off road bumper. D rings sit at 25 inches. Camper 2014 Forest River Class C receiver sites just 9 inches . Does anyone make a riser more than 10 inches ?

10" is a lot.... Forest River (for many of their campers) makes a 3" lift block. Which would bring you up higher on the trailer to reduce the need for the drop hitch. Might want to consider bringing the trailer up just a bit. I did mine it was 90 bucks.

I just happened to be looking at these last night. https://genyhitch.com/product/mega-duty-10k-drop-hitch/ They have one with a 15" rise and go up to 22-1/2" and rated up to 10k lbs. I use the Rock Hard bumper with the optional brackets for my tow bar. I have the riser hitch I used with my Ram I flat towed before and it was within tolerances when towing my Gladiator. I have since done a 1-1/2" leveling kit and think I will have to get a taller riser. I'll find out Friday when I hookup for the first time since installing the leveling kit.

As a side note, you definitely want the tow bar close to level. We had another member in our motorhome association where his Jeep bumper was much higher than his hitch on his coach. He was just pulling it down his steep driveway and hadn't hooked up the auxiliary brake on his Jeep yet. When he stopped the Jeep went up and damaged the rear cap on his coach.

Ok just looked at that setup. See it now comes with stableizers not sure how they would go into frame. Need to look if it stops raining.

I used a Gen-Y adapter on my Class C to flat tow my JTM. Works great and rated for 10K plus.

How much of a lift/drop did you need

Dont be this guy....lol. I followed this guy into the truck stop yesterday. When he went over the entrance that goes down going into the parking lot the front of the car was lifting up it raised it so far. I just shook my head.

I used a 8" rise on my class C to tow my Jeep. Its about identical to yours.

That’s nuts. Mine would be the other way. Jeep high RV lower.
