Harvey,
When I traded up from my 1/2-ton Dodge to the 3/4-ton, I found the new
one to be about 1 1/2" higher than the old. As I was already at the
"bottom" of the adjustment holes in the hitch head, I had to weld on an
extension and drill the appropiate hole.
Sometimes, ya gotta do both: take it apart AND weld. :-)
