Hi Pat,

Thanks - I took the new truck out to my trailer today and hitched it up for the first time. It was definitely riding nose up with the 2" drop bar that I had.

Thanks Pat - but can you tell me svp if your Silverado is 2wd or 4wd?

Mine is a 4x4 and I'm thinking that the hitch receiver on a 4x4 could be somewhat higher.
