• Hitch Extender for 10,000 lb Travel Trailer Compatibility
  I wish you would have asked this question prior to your purchase of the Curt Extender # C45791, because this extender will not work for your application. It is rated for the 3,500 lb total trailer weight towing capacity and because it is an adapter will also decrease your tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch by 50%. Instead, you may want to consider the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # BH20. This ball mount is capable of towing 10,000 lbs and has a measurement of 13-1/4 inches...

• Longest Ball Mount For 2 Receiver Available For Towing Boat Trailer With Trick Steps
  I would be happy to help! The longest ball mount we offer is theBrophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BM20 which measures 13-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. Now the # BM20 has a 10,000lb trailer weight rating, and 1,000lb tongue weight rating.

• Availability Of 12" Long Ball Mount With 1-1/4" Hitch Ball Hole And 3" Rise
  I have an option that may work for you, but we do not have a ball mount with 4" rise, a 1-1/4" shank hole, and is 13" - 14-1/2" long. The closest option we have is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 12" Long - 12,000 lbs # 4285 which is 12" long and has a 3" rise. For this option you would use 2-5/16" hitch ball # BWHB94003 which has a 3-1/4" long shank and has a 1" rise to get you back up to 4" total rise. If your new trailer is under 6000lbs I recommend is...

• Recommended Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin For A Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-214
  Hey Kyle, For the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-214 I recommend the Gen-Y Iron Grip Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for 2" Hitch Receivers - 5/8" Diameter # GY39FR. This can be used for securing the # 325-GH-214 to the trailer hitch receiver and for preventing rattling of the Brophy Ball Mount # BH20 in the # receiver tubes of the # 325-GH-214.

• Longer Ball Mount that Could Clear Out Past Rear of Jeep Wrangler Spare
  We do have longer ball mounts like the Brophy part # BH20 which is 13-1/4 inch long from hitch pin hole to ball hole center. This has a 10,000 lb towing weight capacity and would easily clear the rear spare of your Wrangler as well. For a 2 inch ball then to use with this we have the part # A-90.

• Is there an Electric Tongue Jack w/ a Motor that Faces Towards the Rear of the Trailer?
  Hey Andrew there's no electric tongue jacks that'll have the motor facing towards the back but I've got a pretty easy solution for you. If you have a electric jack like item # EJ-3520-BBX or item # BD500199 depending on your mounting bracket you can just rotate your current jack to face another direction that's out of the way of your tailgate. Another option is to use an extended ball mount like item # BH20. It is 13-1/4" long and has a 10,000 lbs capacity.

• Solution for Hitch Extension With 1,000 Pound TW and 10,000 Pound GTW Capacity on 2000 F-350
  I have a possible solution, but none of the 14-16" extensions have a high enough capacity. The only thing that comes close is the Gen-Y # GY89SR which has a gross towing weight of 10,000 lbs, but the max tongue weight is only 500 lbs. This would also reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50% like many hitch extenders do. If you can handle it being slightly shorter, what you could use instead is the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch # BH20. This is 13-1/4" long and has the capacity you need....

• Products That Allow For Truck Tailgate To Fold Down and Not Hit Jack On Trailer A-Frame When Towing
  The Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K is our only A-Frame mounted tongue jack that we currently carry that will has a height of less than 9" above the trailer tongue. This jack has 7 height settings allowing for up to 12" of lift and will allow you to place it where it will not contact your tailgate when towing your trailer. A better option may be to use an Extended Ball Mount # BH20. This particular ball mount is 13-1/4" long from the center of the receiver pin hole to center of the...

• Best Solution For Gaining Tail Gate Clearance On A-Frame Trailer Tongue Jack
  Since the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack # UF97FR has a triangular bolt pattern it would rotate the jack 120 degrees and may or may not work for your application. There are other jacks which have multiple mounting patterns on the flange like the Phoenix # UF38-944040 which will allow for 90 degree placement on the jack. A much simpler option I find is to use an extended Ball Mount # BH20 or a extended Drop Shank # EQ90-02-4600 if you have a weight distribution hitch. This means no mater...

• Difference Between Brophy # BM20 and # BH20 Ball Mounts
  The Brophy Ball Mount # BM20 and the Brophy # BH20 referenced in your question are extremely similar to each other. They are both designed for 2 inch trailer hitch receivers, have a 10,000 pound towing weight capacity, feature a long, 13-1/4 inch shank and will give you either a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop. The primary difference between the two units is the ball hole diameter. The # BH20 has a 1-1/4 inch ball hole diameter, which will be compatible with a hitch ball with this same...

• Recommendation to Add 36" Extension for Towing 7,500 Pound Boat Trailer with 2017 Ford F-250
  The longest hitch extension we have available for the factory 2-1/2" hitch receiver on your 2017 Ford F-250 is the Reese Extension # RP45292, which provides up to a 34" long extension but doesn't feature the necessary towing weight capacity to safely pull your trailer. Any shorter extender that you might be able to pair with a longer ball mount to get close to the total extension needed isn't going to have enough weight capacity, either. This means your only real option to create this...

• Extra Long Ball Mount to Allow Installation of Towtector Debris Guard on F-350
  It sounds like you are looking for a longer ball mount to use in your hitch to allow installation of the Towtector debris guard. I have linked you to our page for extra long 2-inch 10K ball mounts. For a 2-inch size we offer the Brophy # BH20 which measures 13-1/4-inches from the center of hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole and either 3/4-inch rise or 2-inch drop. There are longer ball mounts but they do not have the 10K rating you need.

• Hitch Extender that is At Least 3-1/2 Inches Deep From Pin Hole to Inside Receiver Tube
  The Roadmaster Htich Extender # RM-071-1075 measures approximately 3 inches deep from the pin hole to the furthest point inside the receiver tube. It's also only designed to be used to flat tow a vehicle with a hitch style tow bar. It can't be used with a ball mount. The Curt Hitch Extender # C45791 has the same measurement of 3 inches and can be used for towing a trailer; however, it has a much lower weight capacity at 3,500 pounds. Also, when using a hitch extender your hitch's tongue...

• Adding A Bike Rack To A TigerMoth Travel Trailer
  The TigerMoth Travel Trailer you have is too tight on space to a add a receiver hitch and you already have an awning on your roof rack so to add a bike rack to your setup you can use the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts - Towing Item # C18013 you linked to with the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BH20. You will need a class III hitch on your tow vehicle for this to safely work. If your vehicle does not have a class III hitch...

• Recommendation for 4 inch Hitch Extender to Pull 8,000 Pound Trailer
  We do have a large selection of hitch extenders that will allow for the needed clearance between your tailgate and jack. The shortest extender we have available for 2 inch receivers that has the required capacity for your 8,000 pound trailer is the Roadmaster # RM-071-1075. This extender measures 7-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole on truck's hitch to the center of the hitch pin hole on the adapter. It has a 10,000 pound towing weight capacity.

• Why Does Ball Mount BH20 Have a Solid Shank While Ball Mount 2923 is Hollow
  When the shank of a ball mount or hitch-mount accessory - say a bike rack for example - is solid rather than hollow this typically means it will be stronger. It also means it will be heavier. The Brophy Ball Mount # BH20 has a solid steel shank which is part of why it has a very substantial 10,000-lb weight rating. The roughly similar Curt ball mount # C45010 offers a 7500-lb weight rating; Even though it is not a solid shank, it does have a very thick platform for our ball to attach. Hollow...

• Troubleshooting 2 Inch Ball Mount that Fits Too Tight In Vehicle Receiver
  The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # C45036 sounds like it may have a little too much powder coat or something to cause resistance like you stated. Alternatively it could be the receiver side as well but it seems odd that the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 13-1/4" Long - 10,000 lbs # BH20 fits if it were the receiver side. The # BH20 will work fine for your 7,500 lb capacity if you don't want to purchase another option. You can also...

• Recommendation For Gaining Tail Gate Clearance On Travel Trailer Camper Tongue Jack
  I do have a recommendation for you rather than replacing your Jack # EJ-3520-BBX with one like the Bulldog # BD500199 which can be mounted sideways. You can switch to a longer Ball Mount # BH20 or Shank # EQ90-02-4600 to move your hitch ball further back. This means no matter what trailer you are towing you have the additional clearance. To verify the ball mount or shank is going to work you will simply need to compare their length against your current unit to ensure it gains you enough...

• Recommendation For Hitch Extender or Longer Ball Mount To Tow Trailer With Dodge Ram 3500
  I would recommend to use a longer ball mount instead of a hitch extender. When using a hitch extender the tongue weight capacity is reduced by 50 percent, so a hitch that has a 600-lb tongue weight capacity will be reduced to 300 lbs. If you have a 2 inch hitch on your Dodge 3500 truck and use a longer ball mount like the Brophy Ball Mount, part # BJ20, it will not reduce the tongue weight capacity and it measures 13-1/4 inches from the center of hitch pin hole to center of hitch ball...

• Can Smaller Wheels and Tires be Installed on a Jet Ski Trailer to Lower It
  The backspacing is not really the issue, it is the tire width on your current versus new tires. Most trailer tires have a zero offset meaning the mounting surface of the wheel is in the center of the wheel so the tire width becomes important. A 175/80-13 tire that you currently have is about 6.9 inches wide and 24.1 inches tall. A 205/65-10 like # AM3H390, is 8.3 inches wide and 20.5 inches tall. Regarding tires, this is a huge difference in width and you would have to measure the distance...

• Recommended Extension For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver To Clear Long Kayak On Trailer
  I have another option for you, but currently there is not a 2' extension for a 2" trailer hitch receiver. Instead I recommend using the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers # C45796 which is an 18" extension that will allow you to insert you ball mount into and has hitch pin holes on each end. One thing to keep in mind is that any time you use a hitch extender the tongue weight and trailer weight ratings of your hitch will be reduced by 50%, so you will need to make sure you are not overloading...

• Why Isn't There a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball Available with a 3/4" Diameter Shank
  You are right that there aren't any 2-5/16" hitch balls available that feature a smaller 3/4" diameter shank. This is simply because the higher weight capacity that a 2-5/16" ball provides requires a larger diameter shank to maintain this rating. The most common shank diameter size for this ball is a 1-1/4" like the Draw-Tite # 19286. You also definitely want to make sure you are using a 2-5/16" hitch ball if that is what the coupler on your trailer accepts. Using a smaller 2" ball would...
