Hi guys i have a disco 1 300tdi thats got a 2inch lift and is on 265/75/16 tyres
next year i want to trailer my zx6r to track days .
i dont have a trailer yet but thinking off getting a cheap on and fixing it up ,
What im worried about is the hight of the landy and towing a trailer nose weight and all that stuff

is there a way i can lift the trailer , bigger tyres ect or a way to compensate the lift ?

raise the hitch on the trailer
or get a removable hitch and massive drop plate (only for light weight trailers)

Well the bike weights about 165kg not sure how much the trailer would weight , dont know why i didnt think about that raise the tow hitch on trailer "unsure how tho"
Lower the tow ball would have to measure it all up tho

i tow with a 2inch lift and 35" mud tyres, struggle with the car trailer and wouldn't tow it with the landy if it was loaded but smaller trailer I don't have an issue with - I had quite a big drop plate but nothing that'd raise eyebrows!

Can i buy something that attached to my current tow bar to make the ball lower its got 3 pairs off holes on mine atm , could i get some 3mm plate and use the 3holes to attach the plate with then another set off holes that at lower for the tow ball?
