Availability of Rustproof Ball Mount with 1-7/8" and 2" Hitch Ball Combo
Question:
I am looking for a 2 ball adjustable height self locking system for a 1-7/8 and 2 ball. I would love something that is going to be rustproof i do not need the self scale feature but i cannot seem to find the 1-7/8 and 2 combo that is not zinc balls. they all seem to be 2 and 2 5/8 which will not work for my needs. thoughts? thanks!

We do have different adjustable ball mounts available that can be locked to the trailer hitch receiver, but the only all-in-one self-locking system comes from Fastway, like with part # DTALBM6800, and they simply don't offer a 1-7/8" hitch ball.
What I recommend doing is using a Weigh Safe ball mount like the 180 Hitch # LTB4-2 which comes with an aluminum shank and mounting platform as well as stainless steel 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls. This ball mount is for a 2" hitch receiver and has a 4" drop/5" rise.
For a 1-7/8" hitch ball you will just need the 1-7/8" and 2" Dual-Sided Hitch Ball # TB03, and then to lock this ball mount to your hitch receiver you'll need the Weigh Safe Hitch Receiver Lock # WS05 which is also stainless steel. When combined with the aluminum shank this gives you a completely rustproof system.
If you have a hitch receiver different than 2" or if you need a different max drop/rise just let me know and I can help you find out what would work out best!
