Default PWC Towing

I plan on towing my Sea Doo to the lake, the river and camping with my Raptor. I'm sure the Raptor will have no issues towing it since it the whole set up only weights about 1200 lbs. My question is will I need more than 2in drop ball mount? I did have a 09 xlt 4X4 with 275/65/18 BFG's and it was perfectly level with the 2in drop. I know the Raptor sits higher than a stock xlt, just not sure if the suspension will soak up the difference. Any idea?

My 2011 XLT needs a 3 1/4" drop for most things to be level, I'm guessing you might need that, or a 4" drop to be level. Try going to a U-Haul place that sells them, and say you want to try a few out.
