How far up from the ground should a ball be? My tundra has 35" tires but the hitch was not moved whenI did the body lift. How much of a drop would I need? TIA.

You should measure the level height of the trailer you will be towing and compare that to the hitch receiver to get the difference.

The trailor isn't here. But that is a good idea.

A body lift isn't going to affect the height of the frame and the hitch. All you have to worry about is the tire size change. From 31" (Stock 4X4) to 35" is only an effective lift of 2 inches for the frame. So drop the hitch 2" farther than you normally would.
