Thanks to all who responded to hitch question.

At the risk of answering my own question, the solution seems to beas follows:

Buy the Equal-i-zer weight distributing hitch, which is available without a shank, the piece that goes into the receiver on H2. Also order the shank which gives a 9" drop and a 12" extension. This will clear under the tire and with the hitch itself extending beyond the shank arm, it will clear the tire itself.

Found this out from a person on RV.net. He tows the same trailer I have with an H2, very helpful fellow.

I have also ordered an electric jack for front of trailer.

Thanks again.[align=right]

Have you looked at the Alumistinger ball mounts. I have one and really like it. Looks good and doesn't weigh much.

That's it for now Thanks.

 

to get you the correct part numbers i need a vin number

 

Well I am here in Iraq, can I suggest you take it off of one in the lot? i know the H3 3.7 would be an 08 but i haven't read that there are any specific changes from the two model years. Same suggestion for the Alpha, if you can't do that I guess I will have to wait or if anyone on here is willing to provide it, it would be up to them.

Thanks
