Am pretty sure while going from 2009 BH 3055 RL to 2015 BH 3875FB that my hitch height is going to be a bit low. I measured current rig at level and also the new rig. There's approx. 2.75" difference. Might be partly due to 16" wheels on current and 17.5" on new but not sure on that. At any rate here's what I did:
3x3x25" steel tube in .25" wall thickness
Bolts went from grade 5 to grade 8 and went from 5/8-11x 2" to 5/8-11x4.5"
Once I'm sure this is what I need (picking up new trailer within the week) I will add welds in (8) places between the new risers and the original rails. Paint will also be applied.
All engineering experts are welcome to comment! Thx.
