Guide on how to find the correct drop hitch for your towing application.
Yes, there are quite a few blogs on this, but we'll create another and sort of piggyback off of GenY Hitch's since they are one of the towing industry leaders.
Ideally, you want the trailer to sit as level as possible for towing, and on average you want it to sit between 15" and -17" off the ground.
First, you need to measure (flat ground) from the ground to the middle of the receiver hitch. Next, you'll take the number you get say it's 22" from the ground to the center of your hitch. Subtract that number from 16", and that's the amount of drop you'll need.
Below is a picture from GenY Hitch showing an example of the size drop you'll need.

***Make sure before ordering to see if your truck is a 2" or 2,5" shank.
