Question:
Will my Rock Tammer mud flap mount fit with this hitch?
asked by: Mike
Expert Reply:
While your Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2-1/2" Hitches - Matte Black # ERT00110 will physically fit the shank of the Shocker Hitch HD Ball Mount # SHK35VR, it will also interfere with the design of the shock absorber. As you can see in the attached picture the hub for the Rock Tamers comes into contact with the sidewalls of the mount, preventing it from flexing back and forth to absorb road shock.
If you can tell me the year/make/model of your truck I can find some alternative mounting mud flaps to help protect your trailer from rocks, mud, and other debris.
Question:
What about the Gen-Y Torsion hitch will it work with that one?

The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-1324 has a 2.875" distance from the mount to the first hitch pin hole so you'll need to measure how far back your hitch pin hole sits on your trucks trailer hitch to ensure that you have at least 1" of space to fit the hub of your Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2-1/2" Hitches # ERT00110.
