Question:
I have a 2000 Dodge 2500 .I have the fifth wheel and ball hook up in the bed but also use the heavy duty ball at the bumper. I would like to know if this unit comes in flat chrome or diamond plate and if you have a bit more on just how it hooks up and works. PHOTOS MAYBE ? Thank you

Expert Reply:
We offer the bumper guards in black or silver diamond plate, we do not have one in flat chrome. The guard is attached by sandwiching it between the ballmount (or bumper) and the ball. Once the ball is tightened on the guard becomes tightened into place as well. It works with 3/4 inch and 1 inch shank diameter balls. Once in position it protects your vehicle by not allowing the trailer to come into contact with the vehicle. As you are backing up the vehicle trying to get the trailer coupler close to the ball the guard will keep the trailer from hitting the vehicle if you back up too close and will also help guide the coupler closer to the ball.
