Curious... we won't be picking up our 2022 171 until Spring.  Wondering if anyone out there is pulling with a rig similar to ours:  2019 F150 XLT Supercrew, and can tell me how much drop you have on your hitch?

May be similar using a 2017 Supercrew.  We utilize a 2" drop pulling a 177 that has a 3.5" lift kit installed.  I have measured a fall of 1.5" lower in the front than the rear on the rpod.  Combined with a hitch weight of 325 lbs, which is 11% of total trailer weight and using a simple $40 Curt anti sway bar link, trailer sway is a non issue.

Thank you.  We haul the boat with a 2" drop, so I'll start with that and evaluate.

I would expect any supercrew F150 from 2015-2022 to be very similar. We also have a 2" drop on our 2015 supercrew. Ours has no lift; vanilla suspension.
