Changing Ball Height and Replacing Balls

To adjust the height of the ball, remove the included pins so that you are able to slide the ball platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Re-insert the pins once you have found the correct height. Switching the hitch ball is just as easy. Simply remove the pins holding the ball platform in place and slide the platform off of the shank. Flip the platform upside down so that the ball you want to use is on top. Then slide the ball platform back onto the shank and replace the pins and clips.

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (509 Customer Reviews)

Switch easily between trailers with this adjustable, solid steel ball mount. Go from a 10" drop to an 11" rise. Tow up to 12,000 lbs with either the 2" or 2-5/16" ball. Forged steel shank is powder coated for corrosion resistance.

I bought this drop down to tow my enclosed trailer behind my Humvee. Because of the nearly two foot ground clearance I wanted a sturdy hitch but still tow a level trailer. This fit the bill 100%. I was not disappointed in this unit. First of all it’s heavy. And that’s a good thing in my mind. Secondly it fit like a glove. Great powder coating and really sweet hardware. Every inch of this hitch is top quality. You can’t go wrong with the price or with etrailer. Best customer service and quick shipping. I highly recommend you chose this hitch if you need a substantial drop and DON’T buy from anywhere but etrailer.



by:

Should be the last hitch I need to buy, is rated for close to what a 2020 F150 with max tow package can haul, in pic mine is at 17.5 inches high which levels my trailers, I got the 10 inch drop but the 6 in one would have worked. Get the 6 in one for this truck if you are worried about it dragging off road. I got the 10 in to cover all future needs with any truck I may tow with



by:

Too much play in this hitch... it works fine when driving at speed but it clunks a lot and the little bit of play allows the trailer to jar my truck. A rigid drop hitch would be preferable.

Thank you for your review. You can use an anti-rattle device at the start of the hitch, but no other devices will fit at the joints of the ball mount. Part # RM-061

Perfect for towing different trailers, easy changeover

Perfect for hooking up different trailers to my vehicle, either by height or by trailer ball size



by:

It's a great strong hitch for what I do. I do landscaping on the side and I haven't had a single problem with it for the last year. If something happened to this hitch I'd definitely buy it again. It's been well worth the purchase!

Ive not had any issues with it and its been a great product!



by:

The set screw that holds the dual ball assembly in will not stay tight, no matter how much lock tite you use, so i had to weld it in. Because I can weld i did but others would have to find a shop to do it and that would not be cheap. Other than the set screw problem I would have given 5 star. I do like it and would buy again.

I reached out to the manufacturer about the movement in the ball mount hitch ball. With a double ball adjustable ball mount the hitch balls are not tightened down by a hitch ball nut. They have a bolt that goes through the middle of the double ball. Because of the different design you could see some movement in the hitch ball. This is normal on all double ball draw bars.



by:

Delightful find
This is a great product
at a great price. Hopefully you find this item before purchasing a similar product at a much higher price.

Looks like I'll finally be able to haul my trailer level for a change. Looks great and was shipped exactly as they said they would. Thank you.

Flawlessly! This hitch stays in all of time. It has even prevented damage to my pickup after being rear ended by a car and didnt damage the hitch either. I would recommend this hitch to anyone but I would like to have an option for 1-78 ball.

Fastway no longer has a dual ball mount with a 1-7/8" ball option or a way to change the ball out. The closest option we have is the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10050B which is designed with a tri-ball design including the 1-7/8" ball and has a 9" drop and 9-1/2" rise.


by:

Looks great.. Glad I waited... Came one day early.



by:

This hitch solved my problem of lowering the height from my Tahoe to pull a trailer for my side by side. Excellent construction and quality. Highly recommend this hitch and company!!



by:

Purchased this ball hitch for my 2018 Ram Power Wagon. Was looking for a ball hitch with a drop so a can haul any of the three trailers I own. This hitch is well made and looks like it will last a long time. It comes with a 2" and 2 5/16" ball. The only down side is one of the trailers I own has a 1 7/8" receiver. I would have liked to find a ball that mounds on this hitch that size. Maybe they make one. I just haven't found it yet. Shipping time was great. I would recommend this hitch to anyone looking for a solid ball mount with a decent drop to keep your trailers level. Makes all the difference in the world towing when the trailer is hitched at the right height.



by:

Whenever I need something for one of my trailers, I go to etrailer.com to find out what’s available at a good price. I needed a trailer hitch that provided significant rise.
Sure enough etrailer had all sorts of options for me.. my boat trailer is towed by several trucks and the trailer was bottoming out.
I bought a hitch that provides The adjustability up to 10 inches of rise. While I haven’t used it yet, the hitch looks very substantial and it will provide the adjustability I was looking for.
Very satisfied with my purchase.



by:

I like the transition ball from a 2 inch to the 2 5/8 I think that's wht the balls are. Anyways I have a 2500 cummins that has 37s and a 8 inch lift. I pull my 30 ft boat and trailer weighing 8500 pds and it has no problem. I pull 40 ft horse trailers and also a 44ft travel trailer and no problem.



by:

Love this hitch! It’s made well, it’s fast and easy to change ball sizes and height and doesn’t require any tools. I’ve been using it to pull a small travel trailer and a 20’ 10,000lb flatbed trailer.



by:

Super heavy duty and works well for my F150 with a 6” lift and 35” tires. I have bottomed it out when the bed is loaded down and I’m driving on a pot holed dirt road. Zero damage though.

Still works great. I’ve knocked of some of the paint from use but only really minimal rust.

Thanks for your review. To help extend the life of your ball mount cover any bare metal with anti-corrosion spray paint.


by:

The long extension is fantastic. Works great with my 2002 Yukon. I needed a 6 inch riser to get my trailer level for better towing. I regularly swap it to different heights as I own several vehicles with various ride heights. Super happy with it.



by:

Thanks



by:

This product is still working great and I continue to enjoy the convenience of not having to store multiple size hitches.



by:

I like the hitch. I pull several different trailers, and I can adjust my hitch to tow the trailer in a fairly level position.



by:

The etrailer staff were very efficient, and I received my 10" drop down hitch within a few days of placing the order. I highly recommend doing business with etrailer !!



by:

Never had a bad experience with etrailer. Don’t forget to order the locking hitch pins like I did. If you pull different trailers this hitch is very handy.



by:

Very good solid hitch,fast service,felt very safe hooking on to my horse trailer and going down the road. Nothing light duty with this hitch or pin's



by:

Drop down hitch was perfect. easily adjustable for my two different trailers including ball size. It arrived Friday and I already put it to use. I'll be ordering from etrailer in the future.



by:

Beautiful heavy duty trailer hitch!! Looks even nicer than I thought...we havent tried it out yet but I have no doubt that it will work great!!

  • Adjustable Ball Mount With 12 Inch Rise for 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    There is one adjustable ball mount that has a 12 inch rise, but a couple of others that have an 11 inch rise which you can also use and are less expensive; you just need to be within an inch of the correct rise (or drop). So here are the options for you: - 12 Inch Rise: BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 12" Drop/Rise # HD2012 Also needs InfiniteRule Locking Pins for BulletProof Ball Mount # 34061674-D - 11 Inch Rise: Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 10"...

  • What Are The Dimensions of the Vertical Holes on the Flash Solid Steel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount?
    The Flash Solid Steel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA49-00-5900 uses a 5/8" diameter pin to secure the ball mount to the adjustable shank. These holes are spread 1" on center vertically along the shank. As these do not match the information you sent if you can tell me what parts you have I can determine if there is a system which will fit your current ball you want to also use.

  • Distance From Pin Hole to Ball Center on Flash Solid Steel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount FA49-00-5900
    The distance from the hitch pin hole of the Flash Solid Steel Adjustable Ball Mount # FA49-00-5900 to the center of the hitch ball is 9 inches. This is a pretty standard length so I'd assume it's probably pretty close to what you have on your Curt ball mount.

  • Could Weigh Safe Adjustable Ball Mount be Used in Rise Position on 2006 Toyota Sienna
    From the pin hole to the center of the ball hole on the Flash Solid Steel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount part # FA49-00-5900 measures 9 inches. So if you measure from the pin hole of your hitch out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper and it's less than 6 inches this will fit without hitting it.

    A 9 inch lift on a truck like your 2016 Chevy Silverado that already sits pretty high is going to most likely require quite a bit of drop from a ball mount. The Flash Solid Steel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 11" Rise - 12K # FA49-00-5900 that you referenced can provide up to a 10 inch drop and has the largest amount of drop we offer from a ball mount from Weigh Safe.

  • Recommended Ball Mount with 10 Inch Rise for a 2014 Honda Odyssey
    With the hitch on your 2014 Honda Odyssey being recessed about 4 3/4 I suggest going with the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC12. This will have 10 3/4 inches of rise, 7,000 pounds of capacity, and will clear your bumper. As a side note, you do have about 2 inches up or down to still technically be level.

    Yes, the Flash Solid Steel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA49-00-5900 will have enough clearance for the UFP A-160 surge coupler on your new boat trailer. While the head of this surge coupler does look longer than others, the ball sleeve is in the very front of the head. I recommend using the Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # FA86-00-4200 to secure the hitch and adjustable ball to your tow vehicle.

  • Recommended B&W 3-Ball Mount for Lifted 2019 Ford F-250

It is the best option for your 2-1/2 inch receiver that will give you a drop that will work well for your trailer. If your trailer coupler is 18-1/2 inches from the ground, this will be the best option. If your coupler is a lower height then I recommend using the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 9" Drop, 9-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10050B...

  • Fixed Ball Mount or Adjustable Ball Mount for 10 Inch Rise
    I have a couple of options for you. To answer your question first, you will not have to worry about loss of tow capacity with the 10" rise you are looking for. Both of the options I am going to give you will be well over the towing capacity of your 2010 Honda Odyssey so you won't have to worry about the ball mounts not being rated high enough. The first option is the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 8-3/4" Rise - 10" Drop item # AMSC10. This fixed ball mount is slightly shorter...

My recommendation for you is the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop/Rise - 10K # 325-GH-325.

  • Adjustable Ball Mount that Can Do 13 inches of Drop
    Thanks for the dimension info you listed for your hitch height and coupler height. Based on that you need a drop of 13 inches for your trailer to be towed level which the # FA49-00-5900 does not have ability to do since it can only do a drop of up to 10 inches. The closest option we have to the ball mount you referenced that has enough drop would be the BulletProof Hitches Adjustable Ball Mount # HD2014.

There is not a single hitch ball mount without the scale in this capacity range with an adjustable 10 inch drop and 2 inch shank, but the scale is a really nice feature to ensure you are towing that large a load properly. For a cushioned fixed ball mount with a 10 inch drop I recommend the # AMSC10 that can be used...
