This rustproof aluminum, adjustable ball mount with stainless steel hitch balls lets you tow up to 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball or up to 14,500 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball. Use in drop or rise positions. Ball platform locks to shank.

Specs:
Towing trailers with different coupler sizes just got easier thanks to the 180 Hitch 2-ball mount. This ball mount features a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball on opposite ends of the ball mount platform. Switching to the opposite ball is fast and easy - simply flip over the platform, hitch-up, and go! Because both balls are contained on the platform, you won't have to keep track of separate balls that must be completely removed and installed each time you need to switch trailers.
Adjusting and setting up the 180 Hitch 2-ball mount to work with your specific trailer is easy. To switch hitch balls, unlock and pull out the dual pins and remove the platform from the shank. Next, flip the platform 180 degrees so that either the 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball is on top. Then replace the platform and slide it along the shank to the desired height. Insert the dual pins and use one of the included keys to lock the pins in place. A dual-sided hitch ball with a 1-7/8" and a 2" hitch ball (TB03 - sold separately) is also available.
The 180 Hitch 2-ball mount can be used in either the drop or rise position to best suit your application.
Superior Aluminum and Stainless Steel Construction
From the first moment that you lay eyes on the 180 Hitch you'll see that you're getting a superior, well-made product. The 180 Hitch's shank and ball mount platform are made entirely of 6061 T6 billet aluminum, which is the same material that is used to build aircraft components, automobile frames, and freight liners. This type of aluminum is known for having superior strength while maintaining its light weight, which makes it highly desirable over hollow steel components. 6061 T6 aluminum is also rustproof, which means the 180 Hitch will maintain its clean, shiny, and impressive appearance for years to come. And the hitch balls are made of solid stainless steel, offering far greater protection against rust and corrosion than other steel hitch balls that are only painted or plated on the surface.
The 180 Hitch meets VESC V-5 regulations and is SAE J684 certified. These regulatory bodies - the Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission and the Society for Automotive Engineers - create standards for the design, construction, and performance of automotive and towing accessories. Weigh Safe has had this ball mount thoroughly tested in simulation to ensure that it complies with these standards. The result is a strong, safe, sturdy product that is built to last.

Today weRe going to take a look at the 180 hitch adjustable two ball mount by Weigh Safe, for a two and a half inch hitch. It has a four inch drop, five inch rise and a 14,500 gross towing weight capacity. Now, this is an adjustable ball mount with these included hitch balls. This'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank, right here, is what will slide into your two and a half inch hitch receiver and then hitch balls is what'll provide the connection point for you trailer coupler.This one is an adjustable height, so it'll let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. A ball mount platform here will just slide up and down the shank and then you lock it in place with the included dual pin assembly, as opposed to some adjustable ball mounts that use individual pins.Now, it does have this nice rubber cover over it to protect the lock, which you can see it's a locking dual pin.
It'll secure the ball mount platform to the shank for added security. It does use a plated steel lock with aluminum pins and the housing resists corrosion. It does come with the two keys to lock it or unlock it and the rubber dust cover that I mentioned.So, basically just to show you how this operates, you take your key, it's a tube style key, stick it in there, turn it 180 degrees, that'll unlock it. The whole assembly will slide out, just like that, and then all you have to do is it allows you to slide this up and down to whatever position you need, whatever height for your application.Now, it does come with two different size hitch balls. The two inch, like I have right here, or the two and five sixteenths on the bottom, this'll let you tow trailers with different coupler sizes and if you want to switch it around, like right now you have the two inch in the drop position, say you want to switch it to the two and five sixteenths, just slide it oof the shank, rotate it just like that and then slide it back on and then lock it into place.
Again, you don't need the key in your lock there, you can leave the key out, just line the holes up, slide it right in and it locks into place, you're ready to go.The balls are stainless steel, so they are corrosion resistant. Now, the hitch shank portion and the mounting platform are all made of a 60/61-T6 aluminum. It's used in air craft construction, gives you super strength and durability. It is a solid block construction, so it provides greater strength than the hollow steel competitors, but still maintaining a nice, light weight and it is rust proof for a good, clean finish that'll stand up with the test of time.To install this into your hitch, it does require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to hold the ball mount to your hitch. Those we do seel separately on our website and we do list those on this product page as a related product.
This part is made in the U.S.A.Again, the application is two and a half inch by two and a half inch trailer hitch receivers gross towing weight capacity, if you use this two and five sixteenths diameter hitch ball, it's stamped on the top 14,500 pounds. The two inch diameter hitch ball, if you use it, it's stamped 8,000 pounds. This does have a maximum towing capacity of 2,200 pounds.Maximum drop, I want to measure it. I have it in the maximum drop position and that's measured from the top of the platform to the top of the shank. So, if we put a ruler on that you can see four inch maximum drop.
If you flip it around, that'll put it in the maximum rise position. Top of the shank, top of the ball platform, is right at five inches for maximum rise. If you notice these holes right here, center to center they are onch measurement, so it gives you an incremental height adjustment of one inch.The last thing I want to do is just measure from the center of this hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball. Let's turn it around and measure it correctly, center to center, and you're going to be right at eight and three quarter inches. So, again, once you get it all locked into position, just take your cover, fits on right over there, protects that lock from any elements and you're already to go.that should do it for the review on the 180 hitch adjustable two ball mount by Weight Safe for the two and a half inch hitch, four inch drop, five inch rise, and a 14,500 pound gross towing weight capacity.

While I have not actually towed with the ball mount yet it is a high quality piece of equipment. The machining work is excellent as all the pieces fit together perfect. It feels more substantial than I anticipated. Like I said I have not towed with it yet as my tow vehicle is new and not broken in yet but I have no doubt that this ball mount will suit my needs and then some. 570938

I've been a tool maker for 30+ years and I can say that the machine work and finish are pretty good for a ball mount. My only concern is the aluminum pin that will be holding all the tongue weight. I would have liked for it to be stainless steel, but overall a solid drop hitch ball mount. 581124

Review from a similar Weigh Safe 180 Hitch in Ball Mounts
The Receiver is a bit heavy, but other than that its everything I was looking for. I had multiple receivers for 2 vehicles. A ford expedition and a Toyota Venza. The venza needs lift and the expedition needs drops. This one hitch does it all for me. 200 was a lot but it is the last hitch I will ever buy. The aluminum receiver will hold up better than the powder coated ones I had and will not freeze to the hitch. Stainless steel ball will never rust. The instructions say to not leave it in when not towing is good advice because you forget about the other ball. Pricey but you get what you pay for. 572790

Review from a similar Weigh Safe 180 Hitch in Ball Mounts
The hitch it self is great, I bought the different size reversible ball for other trailor that I owned. After couple of tows with boat, I tried to pull the center in lift the sliding ball out to put smaller ball in and could not ball in out. The center pin has a threaded bolt hole to help by putting in bolt to pull pin out. That didn't do it either. I'm assuming that the aluminum hitch has a grove in the pun holding it? 503322

Review from a similar Weigh Safe 180 Hitch in Ball Mounts
The 180 Hitch 2-ball mount has been has been very useful with my two trailers that have different ball sizes and ride heights. Turns out that the 8" drop was too much for one of my trucks and would drag when going through a dip but I was able to purchase a second, shorter stinger/drop bar from the manufacturer so now I can leave one on each truck and just move the ball mount back and forth. The only drawback I have experienced is that there is a fair amount of play with the mount stingers in my truck receivers and this results in a lot of noise on rough roads. I have had to result to using anti-rattle clamps to reduce the noise although there is still some from the ball mount but I suppose that is typical of most adjustable ball mounts. 470391

Review from a similar Weigh Safe 180 Hitch in Ball Mounts
While traveling through Florida I purchased a new ultra lite camping travel trailer to tow behind my Mercedes Sprinter. The trailer was equipped with an "extreme" package that included a lift kit to increase ground clearance. Needed a ball mount with flexibility to achieve the extra required rise for tongue. A little research left little doubt the tb4-2 was the best value for quality and price. It is a beautifully crafted piece. You will not be disappointed. Etrailer has an excellent web site to navigate and a email question was promptly answered. Shipment was quick with excellent tracking. A great purchase. Very happy. 357619
Great. Many compliments and recommendations to remove so not stolen. Nice product.

This is the coolest towing product I've bought since I purchased my last brake controller. This unit is exceptionally functional, and allows me to properly tow both my trailers without compromise. The ease of adjustment and having both sizes in one unit makes it so functional. Best $200 I've spent all year!! 437514

Great product! Excellent machine work, I'm a machinist i would know. I pulled a new 28 foot box trailer home on a 10 hour drive and had no issues. The box trailer I bought has torsion axles so it must ride level to even the weight over both axles and it was very easy to adjust the level with this hitch so it rode home perfect! Etrailer had quick shipping and even checked back to see if I was satisfied. Will definitely buy from them again! Great experience! 334077

Review from a similar Weigh Safe 180 Hitch in Ball Mounts
Great quality and finish on all the parts. I didn't quite understand the scale of this hitch when I ordered it, particularly the sliding component that holds the balls. It is a bit larger than I expected, but I guess my expectations are mostly based on steel equivalents. It rattles a little more than other hitches that I have had. I'm not sure if that's because this one has more pinned connections, or a larger drop, or both. Overall, I really like it, the convenience of no tools adjustment vastly outweighs the rattling. 331056
I love this hitch, its nice knowing ok covered whether I pull my own trailers or rentals. I do have to watch for curbs when its adjusted low on my 2013 suburban. I bought this one because I needed a 9 inch for one of my utility trailers.
