Frequently Asked Questions

Which adjustable hitch should I choose for a First-Gen?

Most 1989–1993 trucks use a 2" receiver. Adjustable hitches let you match trailer height and switch between rise/drop quickly for multiple trailers.

How do I pick the correct ball height?

Measure truck receiver height and trailer coupler height on level ground; set the hitch so the trailer tows level. Re-check after loading—tongue weight can change ride height.

Will air bags help when towing?

Yes. Kits like Firestone Ride-Rite 2071 add load support and reduce sag, improving stability and braking.

Do I need additional gauges for towing?

We recommend a transmission temperature gauge plus EGT/boost when towing hills or heavy loads.

Are BHP “sled” hitches useful for work trucks too?

Yes—BHP’s adjustable receiver hitches are stout and versatile, giving you multiple height positions and durable hardware for repeated hook-ups.
