Hi all -

I searched past posts pretty extensively, but couldn't find a clear answer on the hitch receiver height of a Gladiator Sport S Max Tow with stock wheels / suspension. I've got one on order and want to get the right size adjustable drawbar with my WDH.

Does anyone know? Or if you wouldn't mind getting a quick measurement from the top of the inside of the hitch receiver to flat ground, that would be amazing!

Thanks!

What's the difference if you are going to get an adjustable drawbar?

I Have two trailers, each has a different couple height, so I have two drawbars. They are cheap at Walmart, two are less that one adjustable and much, much liter.

I ended putting 33 inch tires on and they still work the same.

Save your money and wait till you have your Jeep and pick one up on the way home.

Great question. I want to order a specific weight distribution hitch and can get it with either a 6” drop/rise or an 8” drop/rise. I can’t pick it up at Walmart.

The 8” makes sense unless the hitch receiver is on the lower side (which I believe it might be on the JT), in which case the 6” is better for the ground clearance.

For what it's worth, here's a pic.
Subtract for the 2"Mopar lift and whatever the difference is between the stock tires and 315/70/17. I think it was around 18" at stock

I don't know anything about WDH, I've never used one. Eventually someone will give you the answer your looking for.

Perfect! Thanks so much. I’ll call that 19.5”.
