If it is more than an inch or two, you need to do something about it.

At the same time you are measuring the rear bumper drop (squat), you might also measure the front bumper rise.

Well isn't that scientific! We didn't notice any squat or lift when hitching up, but I will definitely measure next time, Great idea!
