Tow hitch query
Hi I have a defender 110 with a fitted tow step, but the ball is too high for my ifor williams 511 does any one know if it's ok to fit an adjustable height coupling to it and is there anything I should ask the company re tow weights before I go ahead with it.
Many thanks hope someone can help me Very Happy

Do you mean just replace the current tow hitch with say something like a Dixon Bate hitch? 1999 Defender TD5 110

I would love to use a tow step,, but also need to have the tow hight lower / adjustable

So use a gen slider tow bracket



But would not want to be towing up to the 110 weight limits with that bolted to a tow step,, even with the extra chassis stays California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

hi thanks for your replies its the same one as supacat and i think the hitch height is 22", i still tow with it but the trailer is slightly nose high which i know is not ideal, i think it would involve putting on an adjustable height coupling like the dixon one i just want to make sure that it will be ok as am paranoid that the trailer will come off with horses in it. hope this makes sense and you can answer it Razz
