When you tow different trailers, height differences can cause uneven handling or sway. This adjustable mount gives you a full 10" of drop or 10" of rise, with ball height changes in 1-1/4" steps. You can line up each trailer for level towing and better control, whether it’s a camper or heavy equipment hauler.
Serious hauling needs serious strength. The 2-5/16" ball is rated for up to 18,000 lbs, while the 2" ball handles up to 12,000 lbs. The solid aluminum shank keeps everything steady, making this a dependable choice for large trailers, boats, or work loads that demand extra capacity.
If you run more than one trailer, this setup saves time. The reversible platform lets you flip between a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball without tools. Just pull the pin, slide or flip the platform, reinsert the pin, and you’re ready to go. It’s quick and simple to match the coupler size you need on the spot.
Road spray and weather can take a toll on steel mounts. This one’s built from solid, machined aircraft-grade billet aluminum with no welds to weaken over time. The polished finish not only looks clean but also resists rust and corrosion so it stays in shape through years of towing.
The mount fits any 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" hitch receiver with an 8-7/8" shank length. From the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball measures 5". Everything locks up snug for a quiet, steady ride that feels secure every time you pull out of the driveway.

was looking for a 2" 10 inch drop put in search this came up on page did not pay attention to numbers. this is a 2 1/2. now i have to pay 27.80 to return it. "Just lost a customer"
I haven't towed much with it yet, but so far it's done the job I asked it to do. Being a 10" drop it does get pretty low on my 3" lifted 3500HD with the other ball hanging off the bottom, but that's only because my enclosed trailer has a very low frame/tongue which required the large drop to ride level. I have my reservations about the weight capacity being 18k, but time will tell. So far it's been a good buy.
I bought this draw bar to go with a new truck which has a higher receiver than my previous towing vehicle. I tow various sizes of camper, cargo, and equipment trailers and this draw bar is perfect for quick changes between them - one sits fits all! I also bought the recommend locking pin set and having one key for both is nice. I immediately used this for a 2000 mile towing trip and was completely happy with it.
I have had a flash E series 10 inch drop hitch for about a year. It was delivered very fast. It has not rusted at all and has performered very well. I didnt research the drop of 10 inches enough and my hitch has hit the pavement a couple of times going into rises at gas stations. I could have gotten away with an 8 inch for my stock 2500 2018 GMC truck. I am happy with my purchase.
Great hitch, no sway like my old setup that used the receiver adapter to go from the 2.5" one in the Ram to the 2" hitch I had. The chromed balls have some rust forming, but that's to be expected.
I have around 2000 miles of towing on the ball mount now.
I like the easy Adjustment and flip over ball.
I think that aluminum is just to soft for a hitch. The ball is loose in the holder after 2000 miles and the ball holder is also worn.
Great product. Easy to install and adjust. Had it for a year now and very little sign of rust and corrosion (still looks like new). Used it to pull my Ice Castle fish house, my boat, and snowmobile trailer. Planning on getting a large dump trailer to haul dirt and gravel with it next year. Also got the truck stuck last spring and used the hitch to tug it out of the mud with the tractor. I tugged on that hitch hard too - didn't bend or damage it at all.
Love it! It works As designed and has not corroded or discolored. Used approximately 20 days in the first year. FYI for a 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 the shank can be flipped up and still have the tailgate down without hitting. At the lowest setting and pulling into a steep driveway the bottom ball can drag. I also got the etrailer keyed alike locks so it doesn’t walk off.
I was looking for a hitch that would do it all and look good doing it. So I decided on the Flash E Series HD 2-1/2" with the 10" drop. So far so good. Great looks and adjustability. Overall I am very pleased with this hitch. If I could change anything about this hitch I would make it a bit smaller. I would also make the fitment of the adjustable portion tighter to eliminate any movement and subsequent clunking while towing. A higher trailer tongue weight rating would be great as well. Also this hitch doesn't come with a pin for the receiver end. For the price that should probably be included. Those are the only downsides that I can think of and they are pretty minor. Don't get me wrong this hitch is very nice!
Of course the folks at etrailer.com got it to me SUPER FAST and were very responsive. Amazing service from etrailer.com I wish every company worked like this one.
Fantastic Product looks awesome and high quality materials and easy to use and adjust. Great service and quick shipping from etrailer
I tow two different trailers with this hitch. Very easy to change ball sizes.

I use this mount between my two trailers with different ball sizes. Easy to use.
Great job, I wish every company ran as well as yours. A blessing! Thanks.
The FA42-00-2925 is a great hitch for the price, I needed the 10” drop to level my one trailer. The finish looks great. The fit is ok, I wish it was a little tighter fit on both the receiver and adjustable slide. I checked other models that were even looser, so went with this one. I didn’t notice any bad rattling from it, I just wish it was a little tighter fit. The one bad thing about it is because I needed the full 10” drop, the bottom ball on hitch would drag when I got in a serve elevation changing condition. If you could remove the bottom ball when not in use, this would completely remove this problem. Other than that it is a great hitch. I also purchased the 2 pcs locking kit for it so it doesn’t get ripped off!

We do offer a weigh safe adjustable ball mount part WS10-25 with a 10 inch . The 2 inch ball and 2 5/16 inch ball are removable and interchangeable with each other. There is not a ball on the underside of ball mount so it will not hit the ground when there is low ground clearance.

Did my research.....People really liked the quality of this adjustable shank. I considered several but really liked the higher weight rating of this hitch. I was not disappointed....super beefy and really looks great. I really just needed a good quality adjustable drop hitch....But all the less expensive models had much lower weight limits. For a few more dollars I think I got a lot more hitch and as a bonus it looks great too. Always happy with etrailer. I have purchased from several times in the past. Never any drama....Quick shipping and really good contact letting me know it was on it's way. I buy most stuff on other online stores....but if it comes to towing products etrailer is the way to go.

Im as happy today with the hitch as I was the day I got it. Still looks great, no corrosion or rust. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good quality adjustable height hitch setup.
This hitch was much lighter than my last hitch. Height is easily adjusted.

I use this hitch to tow a 21 foot camper and a boat with a Silverado 2500hd. Both require a different size ball, but thats no problem since this hitch has both sizes. After a year of usage, it stil looks good. No rust. Its also lighter than my last hitch.
Very we’ll built worth every cent
Very fast shipment. Product looks great.
etrailer one of best on the internet.
Made in USA. Shipping was competitively priced, and there was no hassle. great selection as well
This product is very nice. It's a lot bigger than I first thought. It looks fantastic and it works great. We are towing a Palomino Puma FBC24 toy hauler with a 2014 Ram 2500 Tradesman.
Shipping was fast...couldn't ask for any better service!
i could not be happier with my hitch!! it is a great addition to my truck it makes life alot easier changing different ball sizes with in seconds and i also ordered the the lockset for it very easy to use and no worries for it to get stolen now.The quality of the product is at its finest and the service was the best.I ordered it on wednesday afternoon and by saturday morning it was at my front door with using standard mail and they emailed me to let me know when it was dropped off.
This was a huge upgrade to my previous hitch. The 2 1/2 inch shank is better than my previous 2 inch hitch. It’s better put together, it has wider and heavier parts and the quality is vastly improved. I also love the finish it’s chromed aluminum not polished aluminum like my previous hitch.
A product that turns a pickup into a truck. Darn thing looks so good, I'm not sure I actually want to hook anything up to it. Going to be used to tow travel trailers, horse trailers and a boat. Has the versatility to accommodate all kinds of tongue heights. Due to my 24" receiver height, I had to get the 10" drop to keep things level. I had initially ordered the 6" drop, and when I realized my short sightedness, the customer service team was excellent in helping me return it for the right product. I'll always go to etrailer first for my truck toy needs.
Really nicely made. I ground off the tab on the back of the drop so I could install the hitch backwards as I back into parking spots and a hitch that sicks out 6 inches just makes my RAM 3500 longer. Not to mention the times I have ran my shins into the old hitch in the past. Bottom ball has 9 inches of clearance on my stock 2019 RAM 4X4.
Looks fantastic! Easy to adjust. Works like it should. I would recommend this product.
Only negative would be that I cannot lower my tailgate with this ball mount as it is tighter to the truck than most.
I drive a 2018 Ram 3500

Pros- looks good, lightweight, easy to adjust. I do like it. Cons- it’s loose. It wiggles around in the receiver. The ballmount wiggles around on the adjustable and the ball itself moves on the mount.
This hitch has proven to be durable and easy to adjust for pulling a variety of trailers with different weights/tongue heights. I probably could have gotten away with the 8" drop, but the back of my truck sits pretty high and I have some trailers with low tongues. The single retaining pin makes adjusting the ball very easy. I also appreciate the 12,000 lb. rating on the 2" ball. Some competitive products only offer a 7,500 lb. rating on their 2" ball. Overall, I have been happy with this hitch and I would recommend it to others.
