Choosing a Ball Mount

Expert Reply:

I think we can help you out here. We have several different adjustable ball mounts and ball mounts with with a fixed drop. If you are going to tow only one particular trailer, a fixed ballmount would probably be your best bet. To determine the rise/drop needed, measure from the top of the receiver to the ground. Then, with the trailer level, measure from the bottom of the coupler to the ground. The difference between these two measurements is the rise or drop you will need.

The adjustable ball mounts are nice because you can easily adjust the height of your ball mount to tow different height trailers.

Some of our best selling adjustable and deep drop ball mounts are the 80412 adjustable ball mount that adjusts to a drop of over 9-1/2 inches, and the 2793 ball mount with 8 inch drop.

Be sure to match the weight rating of the ball mount you purchase to the weight of the trailer you are towing and its tongue weight.
