• Looking For Extended Length Adjustable Ball Mount 10K Capacity With 2-5/16" Ball
  Hello David, thanks for reaching out. This is a pretty tall order. We have plenty of 10K+ capacity adjustable 2-5/16" ball mounts. The problem is the length. We could clear your bumper, but nothing we have would be long enough to allow room for your mud flaps. We have a fixed ball mount that has a 4" rise and would be long enough, but it is only rated for 6,000 lbs, the Curt # D-28. I am afraid we do not have anything that checks all of your boxed. We can absolutely provide an adjustable...

• How to Keep Trailer and Tow Vehicle Level after Raising Trailer 5 Inches
  When towing your trailer, you just want to make sure that everything remains as level as possible. If you raise the trailer body 5 inches, I recommend trying to compensate as much as you can on the vehicle end with a raised ball mount. After the lifts are installed on the trailer, take a measurement from level ground up to the bottom of the coupler. Simply use this measurement to determine if any adjustment is needed with the ball mount on your tow vehicle. For example, the Curt Heavy...

• Ball Mount with 5 Inch Drop Needed to Tow Trailer Level
  Usually the tongue weight of the trailer will pull down the rear of the vehicle a little and it is possible it could be enough to make the trailer level. If that does not happen then I do recommend going with a ball mount with more drop. For a fixed ball mount I recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Rise or 5" Drop - 18,000 lbs # EBMK25518 . If you have a 2 inch receiver than an adjustable ball mount such as # C45900 is your best option. This one has a...

• How to Select Correct Ball Mount to Allow Trailer to Remain Level When Hitched
  Instead of a high/low tow bar adapter, choose a ball mount that has the correct amount of rise/drop so that your hitched trailer remains level with the ground, which is important for good handling. The linked article explains how to measure to determine the correct rise or drop you need from a ball mount. I also linked our main page for 2-inch ball mounts where you can select one to allow your trailer to remain level. If you tow only one trailer you can choose a fixed ball mount like #...

• What Size Shank on a Hitch Ball is Needed for the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount # C45342
  The Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount # C45342 is compatible with a hitch ball that has a 1-1/4" shank. A popular 2" hitch ball option is part # A-90 but if you need a 2-5/16" hitch ball I recommend part # 63840 instead. You will also need a hitch pin and clip # C21500 to secure the ball mount to your trailer hitch. If you would like a locking hitch pin then I recommend going with part # e98880 that we offer.

• Recommended 2 Inch Hitch Ball and Ball Mount with Drop
  For your trailer coupler and ball mount, I recommend the Curt 2 Inch Hitch Ball # A-90. This 2 inch ball has a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank, so you will just want to make sure that your ball mount has a 1-1/4 inch opening to receive this hitch ball. To most accurately determine the amount of drop you will need on your ball mount when measuring from the ground to the trailer coupler, you will want to measure to the bottom of the coupler instead of the top. With this in mind, the measurement...

• What Size Receiver Comes on the Buyers Products 3371809065
  The Buyers Products # 3371809065 has a 2" receiver, so you would need a ball mount that will fit in that receiver like the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount # C45342. Which hitch ball you would use depends on the ball hole diameter of the ball mount and the size of the coupler on the trailer you'll be towing. The Curt # C45342 has a 1-1/4" diameter ball hole, so you'd need a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" shank diameter like the # A-90 for 2" hitch ball or # C40085 for a 2-5/16" hitch ball.
