• How Much Does The BulletProof Hitches Aluminum Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch Weigh?
  Good question, Bill! Kind of surprised we don't have that listed anywhere, but the BulletProof Hitches Aluminum Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 6" Drop/Rise - 14K # BPH77MR weighs right at 19.5 pounds. This makes it the lightest with this kind of capacity.

• Will InfiniteRule Locks Fit Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount
  Hello JD; you can use InfiniteRule locks with the Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # C45902. However, the # 34061071-D is designed for 2" hitches so it will not fit. For the hitch pin you need the # 34061072-D which is designed for a 2-1/2" receiver. The # 34061074-D can replace one of the pins on the adjustable channel as seen in the photos below.

• Is The Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount Able To Come With A 1 7/8 Ball?
  Hey Trevor, The Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45902 does not offer a 1-7/8" ball option. It is specifically designed for a 2" or 2-5/16" ball. If you are needing an adjustable ball mount with the 1-7/8" ball included for a 2-1/2" hitch I recommend the B&W # BWTS20049B. This is an 18k ball mount that includes a tri ball shank giving you all the standard ball sizes for towing. The curt you mention has a 6" drop, the B&W has a 7" drop, 7-1/2" rise for plenty of adjustability. Are you needing...

• Can Anti-Rattle Rubber Insert be Used for 20K Curt Adjustable Shank for 2-1/2 inch Hitch Receiver
  Yes it will! The Rubber Bumper # C45921 is a direct replacement for the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45900 but the only differences between the shank that comes with that system and the Replacement Shank # C45917 that you referenced is the weight capacity and the size of the shank that fits into the hitch receiver. The ball mount kit # C45902 that the larger shank is a replacement for does come with an anti-rattle bolt that installs in one of those holes at the back-side but we have a...

• Anti-Rattle Device for Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45902 on a 2013 Ram 3500
  There are 3 places of possible movement for Curt adjustable ball mount # C45902: the 2 pins that hold the ball to the shank and between the shank and the hitch itself. If you have that screw at the ball part nice and tight then you are probably getting movement at the hitch receiver. To keep the screw from coming loose a lock washer could be used. You can reduce or even eliminate movement at the hitch using an anti-rattle device such as # RSCP. With adjustable ball mounts like this there...

• Comparing Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount and Curt Channel Adjustable 2-Ball Mount
  The weight of the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA49-00-5625 that you referenced is 37 lbs, and the weight of the Curt # C45902 is 36 lbs. So in that regard they are essentially the same. They really are quite a bit alike in most ways. Same capacity at 20,000 lbs, both fit 2-1/2 inch hitches, both can do same amount of drop at 6 inches, both are highly reviewed by our customers, and both have very similar prices. I'd say the edge goes to the Curt though since it has two...

• Is there a Ball Mount Larger than a Class V 2-1/2 Inch
  If your hitch receiver opening is larger than 2-1/2 inches then the next step up is a 3 inch if you are talking about physical size and not capacity. The 3 inch ball mount you need is # 40701 if this is the case. The hitch ball to fit is # C40085. This is not a common size though so I do recommend verifying the size of the receiver opening on the hitch. I have also included a link to our ball mount main page. If you mean capacity then the highest capacity 2-1/2 inch ball mount that we...

• Adjustable 20,000 lb Ball Mount Option with Silver Colored Hitch Ball
  I have a possible solution for you, but Curt does not offer a silver two ball attachment for the Curt Adjustable Ball Mount # C45902. One possible solution for you is the Fastway E Series HD Adjustable 18K Ball Mount # FA42-00-2625. A nice feature about the Fastway ball mount is the corrosion resistant aluminum construction. This will be good if you are in a cold climate with salt on the roads. A hitch lock is also available for this ball mount, # FA86-00-3685. If you don't need both...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1998 Chevy K3500
  For a 1998 Chevrolet K Series 3500 Pickup, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class IV - 2" # 41901. This is an extremely sturdy hitch that is easy to install. It will fit a standard or step bumper. For a roll-pan bumper, use # 41522.

Then you will want to add the # ETBC7 to get your 7 way connection along with the circuit breakers,...

• Why Do Rear Tires on Tandem Horse Trailer Run Hotter Than Those on Front Axle
  If the tires on the rear axle of your tandem axle horse trailer are running hotter than those on the front axle, this could be due to several possible causes. One of these causes you mentioned; the trailer not being level when hitched. If the trailer rides nose-high this tends to place more of the trailer's load onto the rear axle. This could easily cause those rear tires to run hotter. All trailers tow best when they are level so if you need to switch ball mounts you can choose one with...

• Best Trailer Hitch for a 2008 GMC Sierra 2500
  The best trailer hitch for your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 will vary depending on what you're going to use it for and possibly whether you have an 8 ft. or 6-1/2 ft. bed. If you need to haul a lot of weight I would suggest the Curt Class V CD 2-1/2" # C15703. This will get the most out of your truck for your dollar and will work with either length of truck beds. The Curt Class III # 13208 will also work with both bed lengths and would be more appropriate if you're not hauling as much weight. I...

• Is Replacement Shank Available for Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount with 10-3/8" Drop
  The Replacement Shank # C45917 is for the Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount # C45902 which has a 5-1/4" rise/6" drop. I reached out to Curt and my contact said that at this time (July 2020) there is no replacement shank for the Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount # C45927 so you'll have to pick up the entire ball mount to use this shank.

• Do I Still Need a Ball Mount with My Weight Distribution Hitch
  It sounds like you're trying to add a weight distribution hitch to your trailer, so you don't actually need to use the Curt # C45902 with it. In most cases you can get a weight distribution hitch that comes with a shank included, like the Curt Tru-Track # C17501 which is designed for trailers with a tongue weight of 1000-lbs and 1500-lbs. There are some that do not come with the shank included, so you'll want to choose one that does where possible as long as you don't need one with a...
