Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailers Level: 4" Drop or 5" Rise

If you’ve got more than one trailer, getting each one to sit level can be a pain. This adjustable mount takes care of that with a 4" drop and 5" rise that you can fine-tune in 1" increments. Whether you’re hauling a camper one weekend or a boat the next, you can dial in the right height and tow steady every time.

Switches Between Trailers Fast: Dual Chrome Balls

Swapping trailers shouldn’t mean changing mounts. The reversible ball platform gives you both a 2" ball rated for 8,000 lbs and a 2-5/16" ball rated for 10,000 lbs. Flip it to the size you need, pin it back in place, and you’re ready to roll. It’s a simple setup that covers most common trailer couplers without extra tools.

Built Strong Without the Weight: Solid Aluminum Shank

A lot of heavy-duty mounts are just that—heavy. This one uses solid, aircraft-grade billet aluminum for strength without bulk. The design skips welds that can create weak points and instead uses a single solid piece for durability. Even with its lighter weight, it’s tough enough to handle serious towing duty day after day.

Stays Clean and Sharp Over Time: Polished, Corrosion-Resistant Finish

Road grime and weather can quickly make towing gear look rough. This mount’s machined aluminum body resists rust and keeps its polished silver finish looking sharp after miles on the road. The chrome-plated steel balls add another layer of protection so everything keeps working smoothly trip after trip.

Straightforward to Use: Simple Pins, No Fuss

Adjusting height or switching balls doesn’t require extra hardware or complicated tools. Just pull the pin, slide or flip the platform, and reinsert the pin—done. It’s built for folks who want to spend more time towing and less time setting up their gear.

Works great and looks great! I ordered it because the dimensions from the truck to the ball is the same as a “standard” hitch so it didn’t protrude out very far. Others extend out far and are knee breakers.....can’t go wrong with this one.
by:
Bought this hitch to tow my camper with my new 1/2 ton truck. Hitch was a little hard to get adjusted, but that could be i had never done it before. After watching several videos i got it close. I dont think it's perfect, but does its job. Only made 1 trip using it, but it was a 900 mile round trip. Didn't have any problems with sway, and hitch is very quiet when turning. Overall very good purchase hopefully get to use it more in the future.
by:
A year of almost daily use since purchase. This product is perfect. It is exactly what I wanted and needed. I tow an 18’ tandem axel trailer with heavy equipment on it six days a week. No problems ever! The adjustment is easy and switching ball sizes is a breeze... Thanks!!!
by:
Exactly what I was looking for to pull a new trailer. The hitch is just as advertised, and was delivered in just a couple of days. The locking pins are a nice addition, and match the ball mount nicely.
by:
Very nice quality and made in the USA. Got the fastway locks too to prevent ball mount from disappearing. Good service and selection from etrailer.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for a 2023 Ram 1500
    Hey Gary, congrats on the new trailer. For a 2" ball mount, I recommend the etrailer Adjustable 2-Ball Mount item # e66PR. This ball mount comes with both a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball with 7,500 lbs and 10,000 lbs capacity. It has an adjustable 6” rise or drop for level towing with different trailer heights. Before you give completely up on your WDH, I recommend driving around without the spring bars attached and seeing how trailer handles. Is using the WDH on your new trailer causing...

  • Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount With 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for 7,000 lb Trailer
    So the answer to the exact adjustable ball mount you need really depends on the amount of rise or drop you require. If you aren't sure how to measure for that, I've added a link to a help article detailing how to determine that. With that in mind, I'll give you some options, and I also want to point out that adjustable ball mounts do come with both a 2" hitch ball and 2-5/16" hitch ball, though if you never need the 2" ball you can simply store it away. I recommend the Flash E Series...

  • How Do I Know What Rise/Drop I Need for Using an Adjustable Ball Mount on My 2021 Ram 2500?
    When considering what height of an adjustable ball mount you need on your lifted truck, it really depends on two factors: the height of your lift and the height of your trailer's coupler. When towing a trailer, you want to get the tow as level as possible. The way to measure your height needs is to measure from the ground to the coupler of your trailer. Then, you need to measure the ground to your hitch receiver opening. This will give you the height you need for installing (and also factors...

  • Is The Fastway Lock Set Compatible With e2 Weight Distribution Hitch?
    The Fastway Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # FA86-00-3660 is only compatible with the ball mount platforms like the Flash # FA42-00-2400. With the Fastway e2 weight distribution you have to use the bolts and nuts since the hitch head has an adjustable pitch angle. We do have the BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # MD204 which you can use with the Weight Distribution Shank # 358WEIGHTDIST. This will allow you to quickly adjust the hitch height for the Fastway e2 for different...
