issues to consider...

-ball height, it's not the same on ALL 'streams, so MEASURE your trailer on a level surface...

-tongue mass, it's not the same on ALL 34s so weight the tongue, and trailer axles...

-receiver height, it's not the same on ALL h-toooz, so measure the inside upper box height...

-does the h-t000 ((what year is it?)) have auto/air leveling at the rear?

-it's not clear if you are planning to use an ORANGE hitch or not, but 8 inches is their max offering.

b'cup toe-z with an ach-2 and uses a haha ...

as does 66o' (but no haha) ...

"New" Tow Vehicle!!!

either might have useful info for ya...

also there are a few threads JUST on these...

Hummer / Airstream

for 10 and 12 inch bars on conventional hitches, reese has offerings as do the aluminum guys...

...Alumastinger...

generally the deeper drop bars may only be rated to 10k, but some are rated higher

and there are several forums DEDICATED to towing with your vehicle, so check'em out...

also look at the AFTERMARKET RECEIVERS that are compatible, you may find options that ride lower than the oem...

cheers
