I flat tow a jeep unlimited with a blue ox. Hitch has a 4 inch drop to level the towbar.

Wow, I called the dealer to measure for me, he told me 25" from ground to center pin. Do you think once loaded it would squat as much as 2.5 to 3" ?
Stuart; we use the Stay And Play Duo, little more trouble to install, so easy to tow. Plug it in, flip a switch and go.

Stuart,
I use the RVI 2 on my Wrangler. The Stay in play is also good. I just wasn't ready to have it installed on my new jeep.

Makes me wonder if the coach they measured was parked on an incline. Thank for measuring!

Thanks Russ and Steve on Jeep info, there are a lot of options to look at I watched videos on both of yours and am learning a lot.
Although quite a few love them the system with the cable from the hitch to the pedal is not for me. ( sorry forgot the name)
