• Recommended Tire Chains For 16.00R20 Michelin Tires
  Hey Mark, The Titan Chain Alloy Loader Double Duty Tire Chains # TC2627S-2 would be the correct size for your tires but are super heavy duty and more so designed for a tractor tire so they might be a bit too heavy for your application. I did speak with Titan Chain and they stated that they would just custom make you some for your tire size with thinner links to reduce the weight to something a bit more manageable for your intended use. To put this in perspective these chains weigh 189lbs...

  Thanks for reaching out and your purchase of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e93ZR for your 2022 Nissan Rogue! To choose the correct ball mount you'll need to figure out the difference between the height of your hitch receiver and your trailer coupler. To measure your hitch receiver height you'll measure from the ground to the top inside of your receiver. When we installed this on a 2021 Rogue we found this height to be 11-3/4". Then for your trailer coupler height you'll need to...

• Recommended Ball Mount with Best Ground Clearance and 10 Inch Drop
  The Fastway Flash E Series HD Adjustable Ball Mount # FA42-00-2925 referenced in your question has a distance of 16 inches from the top of the shank to the bottom of the unused hitch ball when set at its lowest position. This will certainly provide some ground clearance issues on your Silverado when going down the driveway. If you are needing a 10 inch drop, a better option as it relates to ground clearance might be to go with a standard ball mount like the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC10. This...

• Adjustable Ball Mount with Long Shank for 2" Ball Mount with 8" Rise
  To answer your question first- Yes. You are able to use the Blue Ox Sway Pro Weight Distribution Shank # BXW4003 as a standard rise/drop ball mount. To make it a complete towing setup, you need to add the Ball Mount Adapter # BA-1 , which works with shanks that have 1-1/4" adjustment increments. Using this setup will give you around 14" of distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. The other option, which would be a more economical choice if you don't...

• Recommendation to Help Back and Forth Movement in Trailer Hitch While Towing
  To help alleviate the back and forth chucking you are experiencing with your 2 inch receiver there are a couple of things I recommend doing. First is to use a cushioned ball mount, the Convert-A-Ball, which is designed to reduce this type of movement and additional road shock with its polyurethane cushioning interior; if you take a look at the accompanying diagram it displays the cushioned inside of the ball mount. I will list the different rise and drop available for this ball mount below....

• Towing Capacity of Fixed Ball Mounts
  The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" hitches - 8-3/4" Rise - 10" Drop - 8,000 lbs item # AMSC10 that was previously referenced is a superior hitch to the Brophy 10" drop item # BM10. It is a stronger reinforced hitch that has a higher weight capacity of 8,000 lbs over the Brophy which only has a 7,500 lbs limit. The use of the Convert-A-Ball fixed mount item # AMSC10 will not reduce your vehicle, hitch, or hitch balls towing capacity. For a fixed ball mount with a 5" rise I recommend the...

• Will a Cushioned Ball Mount Work with Surge Trailer Brakes
  The cushion inside of the Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 would have only a slight affect on the surge coupler on your trailer. You may not even notice it. The cushion is very dense and the more pressure that is put on it the firmer it gets. It would take more force to compress that cushion than to actuate the surge coupler. Cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 has a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop but there are other options if you need a different rise or drop to tow the trailer level: #...

• Hitch Ball Height of Stealth SH87FR Hitch Installed on 2019 Volvo XC90
  The receiver included with the Stealth # SH87FR hitch for the 2019 Volvo XC60 isn't meant for towing, it's meant for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. In order to tow, you'll need the # SH87FRT hitch kit which includes the ball mount that's meant for towing which provides a 2 inch rise which will place the top of the trailer ball around 18 inches which wouldn't be sufficient to tow your trailer so it's level. Unfortunately, this height isn't adjustable. I'd recommend...

• What is the Rise of Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC10
  Because there isn't an 8-3/4 inch rise category for ball mounts the Convert-A-Ball mount # AMSC10 is lumped into the 9 inch rise category. The actual rise is 8-3/4 inches. In the grand scheme of things that 1/4 inch difference isn't going to cause you any problems and the trailer will be more level than most other setups I have seen. If exactly 9 inches is required your best option is adjustable ball mount # FA42-00-2800 which has a maximum rise of 9 inches. I have linked a video review...

• Ball Mount for EcoHitch of 2016 Subaru Crosstrek Towing Rental Trailer
  For a ball mount to use with your EcoHitch # 306-X7203 installed on our 2016 Subaru Crosstrek that would have it's hitch height at roughly 16-1/2 inches from the ground you'd need a rise of 8-1/2 inches roughly if the 25 inch dimension U-Haul gave you would give you a level trailer ride height. That does seem like a high figure but if that's what they gave you I'd assume it's best number to go off. So based on that you'd want a ball mount like the part # AMSC10. Then for a 2 inch ball...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Ball Mount for 9 Inch Drop To Level Coupler Height
  It sounds like you want a fixed style ball mount. For that, I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 8-3/4" Rise - 10" Drop - 8,000 lbs # AMSC10. This will give you the drop needed plus a little to allow the trailer to sit slightly forward instead of slightly raised which allows for better tracking and sway control than the latter. This also has a built in cushion for comfort. You will also need the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40007 or # 40038. If you want the level towing...

• Ball Mount With Single Hitch Ball And 10 Inch Drop Compatible With 2 Inch Reciever
  For a similar style to the # FA49-00-5900 only with a singe ball, I recommend the Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mount w/ Built-In Scale - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 11" Rise - 12.5K # WS10-2. There is not a single hitch ball mount without the scale in this capacity range with an adjustable 10 inch drop and 2 inch shank, but the scale is a really nice feature to ensure you are towing that large a load properly. For a cushioned fixed ball mount with a 10 inch drop I recommend the # AMSC10 that can be used...

• Best Fixed Ball Mount Option for Motorhome and Tow Dolly Compatibility with 10-11 Inch Drop
  The Draw-Tite Ball Mount - 9-3/4" Rise, 11" Drop - 9" Long - 3,500 to 5,000 lbs # 80248 will bring your hitch height to 14 or 15 inches to match your tow dolly. The ball mount is rated for up to 5,000 lbs n the drop position so you simply need to use a hitch ball rated for 3,750 lbs or more. I recommend the 2 inch ball # 63845 or the 2-5/16 inch ball # 63847 depending on which matches your coupler. Both are rated for 7,500 lbs so they will work well. The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount...

• Hitch and Ball Mount Solution for 2012 Audi A4 for 8-1/2 inch Rise
  The issue with Class I hitches like the Curt you have installed on your 2012 Audi A4 is that you can only use the recommended ball mount since it's a lower capacity hitch. Since you have a Curt hitch that's Class I you'd have to use the # C45521 which only has a rise of 2-5/8 inches.

• Determining Trailer Hitch Ball Mount Rise Needed for Trailer Compatibility
  The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 8-3/4" Rise - 10" Drop - 8,000 lbs # AMSC10 you referenced measures the rise from the inside top of the receiver to the top of the hitch ball platform not the top of the hitch ball itself because the coupler fits over it.
