When you pull different trailers, keeping each one level is key to smooth, stable towing. The Weigh Safe 180 Hitch lets you dial in the right height with up to a 6" drop or 7" rise. The platform slides along the 2-1/2" shank in 1" increments, so it’s simple to match coupler heights without juggling separate mounts. Once set, you’re ready for a straight and steady pull every time.
This hitch doesn’t back down from serious weight. The solid 6061 T6 billet aluminum shank and chrome-plated steel hitch balls handle up to 18,500 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball and 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball. It’s heavy-duty strength without unnecessary bulk, giving you confidence when towing everything from equipment trailers to large campers.
Swapping between trailers is quick thanks to the double-sided ball design. One side has a 2" ball, the other a 2-5/16". Just pull the dual pins, flip the platform, and reinsert—it really is that simple. You don’t have to keep track of separate parts or tools when switching between loads of different coupler sizes.
When you’re not towing, flip the ball platform under the shank to keep it tucked out of sight. This stowable setup keeps your shins safe and your hitch area clean without removing the mount. Just reposition it behind the shank, secure it with the same dual pins, and it’s ready for travel or storage until next time.
Road grime and weather don’t stand a chance against this combination of materials. The aluminum shank stays light but tough, while the chrome-plated steel balls resist corrosion trip after trip. It’s a reliable setup that keeps performing long after cheaper mounts start showing wear.

Hello, neighbors. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at our Weigh Safe 180 Hitch with a six inch drop, max seven inch rise, made for a two and a half by two and a half inch hitch receiver. So folks, this ball mount with the included hitch balls will let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle by simply sliding the shank into the hitch receiver. Now you will require a five eighth inch thick hitch pin that is sold separately. If you don't already have one, you can get 'em here at etrailer.com.
Now you're gonna have two balls. A two inch one, rated at 8,000 pounds capacity. And a two in five 16th inch ball, rated at a max of 18,500 pounds capacity. The max tongue weight on this whole unit is 2,200 pounds. And as you can see, nice, elegant, all solid shank and head unit of 6061 T6 builded aluminum.
Now that's gonna be super lightweight and strong, and it's gonna be corrosion and rust resistant. Now the balls are hardened steel, but they are chrome plated. So that, again, is gonna give you that nice rust resistant and corrosion resistant plating as well. Now as I said, you can simply flip this over for the rise or the drop, however you need to use it. And swapping the ball is very, very simple.
You have a protective rubber dust cap here on this dual pin locking pin assembly here. You get two tubular keys. That's for extra protection. It's hard for people to pick those kind of locks. Simply unlock it, pull the dual locking pin out, and then if you need to swap this over, it's as simple as just flipping it.
One, two, three. Couple seconds here and there. Put your pin back in, which is now on the other side of the assembly. And lock it. And again, you're good to go. Put your dust cap back on. It really is that simple, folks. So it took me, what 10, 20 seconds to do it, to flip it over. So again, in this case, this would be the rise position, or if you flip this over, maybe you set it up in the drop for a two and five 16th inch ball. So again folks, very nice Weigh Safe 180 Hitch. I like the style, I like that it's that simple to flip it over. Multiple height trailer couplers, multiple size trailer couplers. This is pretty much gonna do everything you need. And we do offer these in a two inch by two inch shank as well. You can find them on the website as well. If the two and a half by two and a half isn't your cup of tea or your need. Now the holes over here go up and down in one inch increments. Now some quick dimensions, I always like to give from the center of the hitch ball back to the center of the closest pin, and then the furthest away. On the closest pin, I got eight and a half inches. And on the furthest away pin from the center of the hitch ball again to the center of the pin hole, I got nine and five eighth inches. Now going the opposite direction to the back here to the center of the hitch pin hole, three inches. And then the closest one to the back to the back on center, I get one and seven eighth inches. So make sure that clearance and those measurements work for your needs. You should be good. This is gonna fit pretty much all the hitches I've come across to my time anyways, as far as the depth and everything, but double check if you need to. Well, folks, that's gonna wrap it up. Just a quick look at the Weigh Safe 180 six inch Drop Hitch. I'm Steven, thanks for watching, and as always, stay safe while you're towing.

Nice hitch. Little sloppy fit in receiver but not a real issue. I like the locking mechanism.
Just what I expected it to be.
Well made mount. Not sure what to expect long term but for now it appears it should hold up well.
Incredibly fast shipping, delivered quicker than expected. Another quality item from Etrailer. Thank you.
Fast shipping,
I would have given it 5 stars if I could open my GM flex tailgate. Oh so close but still a nice piece!
Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Very robust hitch and fits perfectly. Highly recommend this hitch.
Love it, no more rust. works great looks great
it gave me that extra inch for the Rock Tamers
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.
worked just fine. easy to adjust. will work for both trailers of different hitch height
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.
