I bought a pop up some time ago.  We've taken it out once with my 8 1/4"
drop hitch.  It worked but I really need another couple of inches if I can
find it.   NOBODY seems to have a hitch with a 10+ inch drop.  I can't find
one with more than the 8 1/4".
Can anyone suggest where I can find one?
Thanks

I just looked at my resource, as I had to replace my drawbar with a serious
drop to accommodate my then-new pickup.

I suspect you are correct in that a 10-inch drop is not available.

I suggest you contact a reputable welding shop or, failing that, remove the
lift kits and oversized wheels from your monster truck.

10-inches!  Sheesh!

I went from a 2003 Dodge 1500 4x4 quad cab (w/17" tires" to a 2005 Dodge
2500 4x4 quad cab (w/17" tires) and had to get a bigger drop. I believe mine
is 10", at least. I had to take the new truck to an RV dealer to get the
weight distribution bars reset and that is when I noticed the old drop bar
was not enough as the tail end of the camper (30' tagalong) was noticeably
lower than the front end. I'd check around your local RV dealerships.

Yeah!
I have a 2000 Jayco TT and a 2007 Yukon w/ 17" wheels.
I was shocked when my 8 1/4" drop wasn't enough but the new Yukons receiver
is pretty high and the 2000 Jayco sits at 14" when level.
It has really small wheels.

Go to www.jcwhitney.com and search for ZX486942A

It's a 9 5/8" drop.
