Getting your trailer level makes a huge difference in how it handles. The Brophy Ball Mount gives you both a 3" rise and a 4" drop, so you can match your trailer height whether you’re hauling a small utility trailer or something heavier. The fixed design keeps the setup steady, helping your trailer track straight and tow smoothly.
When you’re towing serious weight, you want gear that can take it. This mount is built with an 8,000-lb gross towing weight rating and an 800-lb tongue weight rating. The heavy-duty aluminum construction stays strong without adding unnecessary bulk, giving you reliable performance for big jobs like campers, boats, or equipment trailers.
Aluminum means strength with no worries about corrosion. This mount is tough enough for daily hauls yet resists rust and road grime that eat through steel over time. Even after long trips or wet conditions, the solid aluminum shank keeps its clean look and dependable feel.
Sometimes you need a little more room behind the bumper. This mount measures 14-5/8" long and 10-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, giving your setup that extra clearance for tailgates, jacks, or accessories. It fits 2" x 2" receivers with a standard 5/8" pin hole, keeping everything lined up and easy to install.

AAAA Transaction. Highly polished and strong. Quick delivery.
every thing worked great
so far so good. One year later.
Works great. More than meets my expectations
It's exactly what I was looking for!
Fit my 2018 Subaru Outback perfectly in either the drop or rise position.
I am impressed on how light weight it is.
Just got it, finely machined. Have not used, boat in shop. Good price, quick delivery and good communication.
Thanks to etrailer.com ! This product they sell his dynamo .Always up to the task whatever I need fast friendly thank you
Great hitch, light, strong and still looks like new after a years use.
Great product - FAST delivery - just what I needed to work in both front and rear hitch
Has kept its shine quite well. Recomend for a great looking hitch!
Excellent hitch, I like it because it doesn’t rust, hitch still looks new.
This is a very nicely made product, but when I used it on my factory 2015 Chevrolet Silverado hitch, it rattled and I had to remove it and return.
I ordered a Brophy Ball Mount after careful consideration to what I needed. A good description really helped a lot in that process. The ball mount arrived sooner then expected and suits my needs perfectly. The price was good and the service was good. A very good product, good price and good service. I have also bought other products from them and always been happy.
It does what it is supposed to do, but the fit is sloppy. It has significantly more hitch rattle than other draw bars I own.
This is the first time I have purchased a hitch receiver shank or ball mount made of aluminum, I noticed that it is much lighter than my original steal one.
The item was delivered a day earlier of the scheduled date. Thanks for the quick service.
I ordered the first time on the website, and after I didn't receive it for some time, I called and was told it is on back order. Had I known that 2 weeks earlier, would have helped. So reordered on the phone, and received it when promised. Unfortunately the shipper packed a steel ball in the same box with an aluminum hitch, and no padding around the ball. The hitch got pretty well beat up.
These two items are the best when using them in the Gulf Coast area. Salt water, and the air rust items of this kind very fast. Aluminum and Stainless Steel are a good combo in salty areas.

This is an outstanding hitch mount. I have purchase additional mounts for my other vehicles.
I just received this receiver hitch today & have not used it. I have been using the same typ but in a 1" rise for a year or so & I like it's light weight but I needed a bit more rise. so this 3' rise model should work even better for me.

Great!
Hitch head and Etrailer service both exceeded my expectations. Product looks great and was delivered ahead of schedule. Nice to deal with a company that understands the importance of customer service.

Still very pleased with this hitch. Some lengths of these heads are hard to find and this was exactly what I needed.
Overall the product looks good, fair pricing, average delivery. I am a little disappointed with how loosely it fits into my receiver. My truck is a brand new 2018 GMC Sierra. You can wiggle the hitch quite a bit, I hope this problem will not be too noisy. It can only get worse with time and wear, especially since it is Aluminum. I saw this complaint on some other reviews. The product needs to be made a little larger. You can always take material off easier than you can add material.

Robert, Thank you for your review. Some of the 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500s have a factory 2-1/2 inch. This brophy ball mount part # EA40 is designed for a 2 hitch. If you have a 2-1/2 hitch the closest ball mount we have to the rise, and length that is needed is part # 45123. This Reese ball mount has 3-1/2 inch rise, 5 inch and is 16- 1/2 inches long. It is rated at 13,000 lbs. If you are not sure what size factory hitch you have I have attached a link to help you measure. If it turns out you do have a 2 inch hitch, I would recommend an anti-rattle such as part BX88224. The blue ox immobilizer will tighten up the connection between the ball mount and hitch receiver to help quiet the rattle.
This ball mount is so nice! I drive an Odyssey mini-van so I'm not towing a million pounds. I just tow a kayak trailer. But I love this mount because it is so much lighter than a standard steel mount! It fits great in the receiver, and tows smoothly.
