Question:
Changed from an Expedition EL to an F-150. Need a class V bar now for a 2 5/16 ball with no that is at least 14 long and allows the tailgate to be let down without hitting the handle on the post of the trailer. Anything shorter wont work with the tailgate and any will have the trailer sitting nose down. allows the tailgate to open without hitting the trailer crank handle and post.

For a 2 inch trailer hitch, we have the Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount, # D900. It is 16 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. When used with the 2-5/16 inch ball, it has a 10,000 pound capacity.
If you have a Titan or Tow Beast trailer hitch on the F-150 with a 2-1/2 inch receiver, you can use Titan Hitch Box Extension and Reducer, # RP45292, which can extend 24 inches or 34 inches. You can then use a 2 inch ball mount in the 2 inch receiver at the end of the extension.
