This ball mount is designed to tow and carry accessories such as bicycle racks and cargo carriers at the same time with a trailer. Now well show you proper usage. It simply installs into the hitch like any other ball mount and you can add you accessories on top of that.

Two Balls and Sticks Hitch Aligner Review - Video

This is the easy way to align your truck and trailer with a fifth wheel, goose neck or a tag along hitch. Well show you how these units work starting on an actual truck and trailer. What this product does is that the base of it has a magnet installed on the bottom. One gets mounted onto the vehicle and the other onto your hitch. On the vehicle well install one just behind the hitch ball itself. The second one will be installed as far forward as possible. Next we raise them up to an equal height so we can see them from the inside of the truck. Once we have them even in line, we can simply back up our truck to our trailer and once they touch well know theyre aligned.
