Today were going to review part number EBMK4, this is the Etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2-inch hitch receivers. This ball mount kit will include one ball mount, it will include a pin and a clip; it will include Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball System that comes with a 1 7/8-inch hitch ball head and a 2-inch hitch ball head. It will also the Etrailer.com ball mount bag.This kit will be nice to use when youre going to be towing multiple trailers that might have a different coupler size on them.Im going to start with the ball mount. Basically the part number is 2753. And this ball mount will have a 2 -inch rise or a 4-inch drop depending on how you use it. What Im going to do is measure it for you and give you an idea.
This is in the drop position so the measurement would be here to here; the top of this to the top of where the ball sits. So if we put a tape on that, it would measure 4-inch drop. Now if we put a tape on that, it would measure 4-inch drop. Now if you put it in the other way, that will give you a 2 -inch rise which is measured from here to here. So if we measure that it would be 2 of an inch.
Now this ball mount does have a gross towing weight capacity of 6,000 and has a tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds. It also comes with part number PC3 which is a 5/8-inch diameter pin and the clip that would be used to attach the ball mount to the hitch receiver. This would slide into your hitch receiver, you line the holes up, run your pin through, put the clip on; that will keep your ball mount inserted into your hitch receiver.Next item is the converti-ball interchangeable ball system and what that would be is this would mount onto the ball mount using the included washer and nut. The size of this nut is 1 inches. That would tighten down to your ball mount and notice theres a hole through it, you would slide the cotter in through that hole, spread it apart and that would be a safety feature in case that nut happen to back off and keep it from falling off the shank.
Now this shank with the ball attached will have a gross tongue weight capacity of 10,000 pounds. And Im going to give you a few dimensions on the shank. The diameter of the shank which is right here will 1 inch. The length which is from here to here will measure 2 inches. And then this would be, its stamped on top, is the 1 7/8 hitch ball diameter size and this stamped on top would be 2-inch diameter hitch ball size.
And basically the way this would be installed, this has an integrated pin in the ball which what you would do is find the side that has a dimple on it and just push that side and it will allow you to pull this pin all the way out and what youll do is line it up to the shank the hole in the shank push your pin all the way through until its flush and then youll have a 1 7/8-inch hitch ball on your shank. Now if you end up having to tow a different trailer with a larger hitch ball size like a 2-inch, you just remove that, take the 2-inch one, push on the side with the dimple, line it up with the hole, push it all the way until its flush, now you have a 2-inch hitch ball. So in a few seconds you went from a 1 7/8 to a 2-inch.Now the last item I want to talk about is the Etrailer.com Ball Mount Bag part number ETBMB. This durable bag will work great not only for ball mounts but for all your towing equipments such as tie down straps, pins, clips, locks. It has a strong handle, makes it easy to carry and it has a large zipper opening that runs the length of the bag which makes it easier to insert the ball mounts and other large items into the bag. It is made of a durable nylon construction which will provide many years of use. The zipper is a no-hassle zipper closure. It has the handle for transportation and Ill give you a few dimensions on the bag. The overall length will be 16 inches. The height on this bag would be 5 inches and the width on the bag would be 4 inches. And that should do it for part number EBMK4.

Product was shipped promptly and arrived in GREAT shape with all parts, hardware and instructions. The installation videos on the etrailer site are excellent. I had 35 minutes before dinner and was able to complete the wiring harness installation in those 35 minutes because of the video instructions ... worth a thousand words. Hitch installation went trhe same way ..... I have not yet towed my new boat (pick up in a 4 weeks) but I can tell you this is a very solid product and installation * * * * * (5 stars) Great customer support as well. oh and by the way probably saved over $400 by doing it myself versus dealer quote!7844

All in one kit is Very convenient. but before you order, ensure the rise/drop of this ball mount is correct for your hitch/trailer. Also - there is a gusset plate welded on the back of the ballmount (Drawtite 2953) in this kit, - on the 2010 Dodge Caravan with the Draw Tite Class III hitch,this plate just rubs/touches the bumper, so this draw bar can't be used on 2006-on Caravan.11441

Nice little bag to store the extra ball and the ball mount when it is not in use. This is an excellent product, pulled my trailer within minutes of installation without a problem. Great feature with the removable ball, includes the 1 7/8" and 2" ball, this is awesome. The 2 3/4" rise fits my Caravan and trailer like they were custom made for each other. The trailer rides almost PERFECTLY level with the trailer. Put an actual level on the trailer after hooking it up and it is only a hair off the level, and of course this is probably due to road conditions. Great product at a fabulous price! I have informed all of my friends and family where to go for all their trailer needs. Thanks ETRAILER.COM! ! !10248

The Ball Mount Kit makes it easy to change from 1 7/8 to 2" ball without tools. Great design and carrying bag is very convenient touch. As with any ball mount a large wrench is needed. Also making sure the ball mount pin doesn't turn when installing is somewhat difficult. But once installed this is an outstanding product.67572

What can you really say about the receiver other than it works? The replaceable balls is an amazing idea and I'm glad I have both. etrailer.com has got to be the easiest place to purchase from and I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Only negative is the included bag was ripped thoroughly and is pretty much unusable but as this wasn't really the thing I needed it's no great loss.50826

the receiver was nice, very easy to install. The hitch pin is a bit simple. The trailer ball kit is a change a ball design, and one of the balls was missing the pin for it. I really don't need the smaller ball and I may change the hitch also to one with a different drop/rise. I will probalbly return this and buy something else, but because I did not get the right one.30973

I bought this product to make my new hitch versatile. Even though presently I am only towing 600 pounds of small sailboat and trailer, I wanted the capacity to tow heavier stuff should the need arise. Therefore, I bought a hitch rated at 3500 pounds, and this ball mount to fit both standard sizes of ball. The two balls are easy to swap, as advertised, requiring just a screwdriver to push out the pin holding the ball to the shank. Important tip: The nut holding the ball shank to the mount is enormous, something like 36MM, and I traveled from store to store trying to find a truck-lug socket to fit it, UNTIL I thought to mention that I was installing a trailer hitch ball. Duh. The clerk directed me to the TRAILER HITCH BALL WRENCH, a two-ended box wrench about 18" long. Problem solved for $12. Maybe the instructions could have mentioned this tool?24634

Very heavy duty. I used it once so far pulling a utility trailer. Works as advertised. The dual rise/drop option may come in handy as well as having the interchangeability of 2 ball sizes. Easy to use. Make sure you tighten the ball mount to proper torque and use the cotter pin(read your instructions).24268

I like this product it is very reliable and I can proudly say I got it at etrailer.com if I was a company owner I would sponsor this product I would gladly put my name on this product truly a good piece of equipment and it is easy to install and it is nice not to have to unscrew a ball hitch when ever I need a new size ball. Just a all around wonderful product and company. Thanks etrailer.com and all of your employees.12636
