    No, because its all dependent on your trailer. You could make an educated guess and order whichever you think may be right, but its a guess at best without measuring. That being said, the only valuable recommendation I can give you is just drop some coin on an adjustable hitch.

    We plan on buying a 7x16 concession trailer in the near future at my place of work......

    I measured this trailer with a 2-5/16 coupler..by leveling it out perfectly...the top of the A-frame couplers measured 21"..I measured the top of tge hitch insert on my truck and it measured 21" ..so I would assume that the ball adds another 2" so 23" high total...

    If you have blocks for lift in the rear it makes a big difference as well. They are soft and you'll sag big time with a trailer.

    You basically can't guess, you need to put a drop hitch on and put the weight on.

    You may need rear helper springs of some sort to prevent the front from maxing out on down stroke.
