Towing different trailers means the coupler heights rarely match. This adjustable ball mount makes it easy to keep each one level and stable. The platform slides up or down the 2" shank in 1" increments, giving you a full 4" drop or 5" rise. Once you’ve got the height right, lock it in place with the included dual pins and hit the road knowing your trailer will track straight and handle smoothly.
Whether you’re hauling a small utility trailer or a heavy camper, switching ball sizes takes just seconds. The stainless steel tow balls are mounted on opposite sides of the platform—flip it over to go from the 2" ball rated for 8,000 lbs GTW to the 2-5/16" ball rated for 12,500 lbs GTW. No tools, no loose parts to store, just pull the pins, flip, and tow.
This mount uses a solid block of billet aluminum for strength without excess weight. The shank and platform are tough enough for heavy-duty towing while staying easy to handle. Paired with stainless steel hitch balls, it’s built to resist corrosion and stay looking sharp after miles of use.
The included locking pin set keeps both the ball platform and shank secure. The hitch receiver lock secures the mount to your hitch, while locking dual pins hold the platform firmly in place. With four matching keys, you’ve got everything you need to keep your setup locked down and ready when you are.
When you’re done towing, flip the ball mount platform behind the shank toward your vehicle for a clean, stowed position. It stays mounted but out of your way—no shin hazards, no cluttered look—so you can leave it installed full time until the next haul.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Weigh Safe 180 Hitch with two-ball mount for your two-inch hitch receiver. Now, this 180 Hitch is going to slide into your two-inch hitch receiver, and it's going to give you a 2"-and-2 5/16" stainless steel double-sided tow ball. And this is going to be very easy to switch the tow ball sizes. And this is going to give you, in this orientation about a maximum of about a four-inch drop, Then when you flip this shank over, maximum of about a five-inch rise with incremental adjustments of one inch. And so this is going to give you the height adjustability that you're looking for so you can tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle.
Now, when you use the 2 5/16"-inch hitch ball, you're going to get a gross towing weight capacity of 12,500 pounds, with a 2" ball it's 8,000 pounds, and this has a maximum tongue weight of 1500 pounds. This hitch is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum, giving you superior strength and durability. The solid block construction is going to provide greater strength than many hollow steel options that are out there, but this is going to maintain its light weight, it's also going to be rust proof, and this clean finish is going to stand the test of time, so even though it's lightweight, this is going to be very durable and hold up really well for you. As I mentioned, the hitch balls are stainless steel, so they're corrosion resistant, this is going to be great to use around water, such as like your boat trailer or something like that. Now, this does feature a dual-pin slider lock that's going to make adjusting the height and switching the tow ball sizes very simple.
So let me give you a brief demonstration of that, I'm gonna remove this rubber cover that's included to protect the lock core from dust and debris. So I'm gonna take one of the keys here and insert this into the lock, give that a turn, and then that's going to allow me the ability to remove the dual-pin slider here. While I have this out, I wanted to mention that the pins and housing are aluminum, and the lock here is plated steel, so this is also going to do a great job of resisting rust and corrosion. And so that's going to allow me to easily slide this up and down so I can changes this from a 2" ball to a 2 5/16" pitch ball with no problem whatsoever. So I'm gonna go ahead now and just line my holes back up here, I'm gonna come around here so I can see what I'm doing.
Obviously this is all gonna work a lot easier when you have this inserted into your trailer hitch receiver. So lemme turn this back around, just like that, you do wanna make sure that you have this in the right orientation, so as you can see, it's gonna kind of point to that direction. So I have that inserted in, everything is secured, and then I'm gonna go ahead and replace my cover just like that. So you're not gonna be struggling at the back of your truck to adjust the ball size or to adjust the height, it's gonna be very easy, very smooth operation. And then, as I hope you saw as well, this does include a locking hitch pin, so this is going to allow you to keep your mount securely attached to your trailer hitch receiver.
So again, this is gonna be very easy to use. Now what I like about this lock is, I'm gonna go ahead and lock the head back up and remove the key, and I can still lock this even without the key, which is a nice touch. So I'm gonna go ahead and replace this, and then just replace the head there, and as you've heard, that locked into place. So I don't need the key inserted into the lock to lock this back up, so that's gonna make this all the more easier to lock this up into your trailer hitch receiver. Now as I mentioned, everything is key to like, you are gonna get four keys, and you'll just need one of those keys to unlock the hitch lock and our dual-pin slider, so the four keys in total. And just to give you some measurements, just to kind of give you an idea of the size here, I took some measurements before our time together, and so what I came up with is, measuring from the center of the first hitch pin hole to the center of our ball, it's gonna be about eight and a half inches, moving down to the center of the second hitch pin hole to the center of the ball, it's gonna be nine and five-eighths inches, and then measuring from the center of the second hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, about one and seven-eighths inches. This is V5 certified and J684 certified. And I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Ratings & Reviews
Simple and easy to switch to another trailer with a different ball size and height. Only negative thing I can say is I would prefer a little tighter fit into the receiver.
The weigh safe hitch. Quality made very nice hitch.
This mount is an amazing piece of engineering. My father was a machinist and I know he would be impressed. It functions flawlessly with all of my various trailers, and even looks great on my truck. The order was processed and shipped super fast, arriving within a few days. Great job and hats off to etrailer.com !!!
Much lighter than my bulletproof just what I need when pulling my utility trailer.
PERFECT. EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.
Makes a little more noise (rattle) than my all steel non adjustable hitch
Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Very robust hitch and fits perfectly. Highly recommend this hitch.
Great hitch. Easily adjustable
High quality. Website videos helped with selection decision. Decent price. Fast shipping
Easy to install sturdy towing platform. Like that ths ball mount can be stowed out of the way.
Love it, no more rust. works great looks great
it gave me that extra inch for the Rock Tamers
After 3 months one of the trailer chains bonds against the hitch while taking a shape turn and bent the key to flip the receiver ball. So we are basically stuck with a 2 5/16 receiver since it cannot be opened and flipped. Aluminum is nice but weak at the same time.
Work horse and light weight. Comes with key locks keyed alike for hitch and ball. Stainless steel ball ensures durability for towing long term.
The 180 Weigh Safe is an excellent adjustable hitch. Exceptional fit and finish.
Very solid and beautifully finished. Fits well on my 2016 Ram 2500 4x4, with the newer 2-1/2" receiver, allowing the exact height necessary to level my toy hauler. Ball mount is packaged in foam to ensure it is pristine when it arrives.
Got the locking dual pin for it, as well as the BOLT locks for hitch and coupler, so none of this pretty stuff walks away. Very happy with the whole setup.
A little mixup on the initial order was corrected immediately, so I had all the parts I needed in time to hit the road. Thanks etrailer team!
Been looking for a while on a new hitch and finally pulled the trigger. Etrailer made it fast and easy to get the hitch I wanted at a fair price.
Fast shipping as always! While I haven't had the chance to use this hitch yet, it looks like a high-quality product straight out of the box. I plan to test it this weekend and will update this review if I remember after putting it to use.
Would say WOW ! Excellent communication from the second order was placed , tracking from start to finish. Super packing job and way quick delivery . Product is great , heavy built and easy to change based on what trailer I need to use . Wish I had bought one years ago !
Good product feels very sturdy. My only critique is that it has too much play causing a lot of rattling. The manufacturer should have a tightening bolt so that after installation the two components tighten up and there’s no play.
worked just fine. easy to adjust. will work for both trailers of different hitch height
Hitch works well. Seems it could be a bit tighter when in receiver on truck but overall is a good purchase.
Great price outstanding quality and had it to my front door in less than 48 hours!
This is a solid hitch, the double pin on the ball side locks everything in tight no rattling and love the locking mechanism on this unit… Price is excellent and delivery time wasn’t that long… Great job to you guys at etrailer
Great product. Craftsmanship is top notch.
Easy to use and very sturdy built. My only complaint is the standard coated Balls rusted pretty quickly and look bad. I Should have went with the upgraded stainless steel. Also the salt from 1 winter has left some corrosion on the aluminum of the hitch and the sticker fell off. None of these things affect the function, but i wish it would have stayed looking as nice as it did when it was new.
Excellent quality & service
