When you’re hauling different trailers, getting the height right makes a huge difference in how smoothly things ride. This Weigh Safe hitch gives you up to a 6" drop or a 7" rise with 1" increments, so you can match each trailer’s coupler height for a proper, level tow. The adjustable platform slides on the 2-1/2" shank and locks in place with dual pins, keeping things solid once set.
Balancing your load used to mean juggling bathroom scales or heading to a weigh station. With this hitch, the built-in tongue weight gauge shows how much force your trailer puts on the hitch ball the moment you connect it. The clear, automatic reading makes it easy to know when your setup is dialed in before hitting the road—no extra tools or steps required.
Tow with confidence using a mount made for serious weight. The solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum shank and platform keep strength high while staying lightweight. The stainless steel balls handle heavy-duty pulling—rated at 18,500 lbs gross towing weight on the 2-5/16" ball and 10,000 lbs on the 2" ball, with a maximum tongue weight of 2,200 lbs. Everything is SAE J684 certified and VESC Regulations V-5 compliant for proven safety.
Nothing’s worse than rattles or loose parts when towing. The keyed-alike locking dual pins hold the ball mount platform tight on the shank, while the included hitch receiver lock secures the shank itself. Together they keep movement to a minimum—no noticeable play between the ball and platform—and deter theft when parked.
Switching between trailers is simple thanks to the included 2" and 2-5/16" stainless steel balls that swap out with a quick pin change. When you’re done towing, flip the platform under the shank for clean storage that stays out of the way. It’s an easy way to keep your setup ready without removing it from your truck every time.

Hello, neighbor, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look together at our Weight Safe two ball ball mount with built-in scale for a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch shank with a six inch drop or seven inch rise. So folks, you're gonna get two balls. The 2 5/16 is rated at 18.5 and the two inch balls rated at 10,000 pounds. Now these increments can go up or down in one inch increments, and this is all aluminum. As far as the shank assembly here, that's all one piece, build aluminum and the head assembly with the built-in scale.
All of that is machine aluminum from one solid block construction. So you're getting greater strength, you're getting lightweight, but a nice strong rust corrosion resistant. The balls are stainless steel construction, very simple, heavy duty, one solid piece. Everything is very robust. Now what I like about this is you have your built-in scale, right So your tongue weight scale is built right into that ball mount platform.
That's gonna ensure and help that you have a balance on your trailer. It promotes safe towing and lets you know if your load needs to be adjusted before you tow. And it's a very simple operation that automatically provides you a measurement each and every time you couple your trailer. Now another thing is that it's gonna be efficient, hassle-free. It's gonna eliminate you needing to go pay for separate or commercial scales to make sure that you're safe and in reigns as far as your tongue weight and that kind of stuff.
Now this is considered a stowable design. So you could technically take this off this side, flip it around, put it behind here under this shank, and you could potentially tow with nothing here, freeing up this space behind your vehicle. Now come quick measurements. From the center of the ball to the center of this hitch pin hole here is 8 1/2 inches. From the center of the ball to the center of this hitch pin hole 9 5/8 inches.
The tongue weight for the whole unit is a rated of 2,200 pounds. And folks, I'm gonna really quickly show you how to go through here. It's actually pretty quick and painless and easy. So you get four keys. These are both keyed alike. You have a dust cover here, heavy duty rubber, a dust cover here, same thing, nice rubber, very simple, with the tube key design. It's not gonna be easily lock picked or anything. Simply take it off if you needed to pull that out of the vehicle. Let's say you want to switch balls. So unlock this guy, pull up the dual locking pin assembly, take this assembly off. Now the scale assembly here, as you can see there's a pin back here. I very simply flip it over and you can see that pin ring drop. Pull the pin out, take the 2 5/16 inch ball off. Now you can see down inside there, there's just simply a piece of metal down there. That under there has the hydraulic fluid that gives you the weight. You put this guy back in making sure you're lining up the hole from the back, and all you simply do is put this pin back in that hole. You may have to twist a little bit to line it up, but once it's in the hole, as you can see, it's all flush back in there. Now I can take this, put it back where I need to go for the two inch ball. And I can simply put my lock back in, lock it down, and now I'm ready to go. Put my dust cover back on and I'm ready to tow, right So again, that quick, that simple. This is the Weigh Safe two ball ball mount with built-in scale for the 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch shank. I'm Steven, thanks for watching folks. I hope this information's been helpful. As always, stay safe while you're towing.

Received my new hitch today and can’t be happier with the build quality. Excellent customer service! Can’t wait to test it out on our next trip.
It's a beast! Heavy duty and everything fits together perfectly. Can't wait to haul my camper with it and see what my actual tongue weight is.
I am really impressed with the quality of the Weigh Safe. Although I haven’t used it yet I think it will perform better than my last hitch that almost failed. I will update after I use it.
I downloaded the APP. It took me awhile to figure out how the App work. I think I have it figured out now. It would be nice to give a QR code to a video on how the APP set up works. The Hitch overall is made very well.
I use this to haul a car on a trailer with my Rv and tongue weight is very important because I don't want to flex the frame, my rv has a very long distance from the axel to the bumper. And with this hitch I am able to place the car on the trailer and know the tongue weight for each position I put the car in. I was able to level the trailer as well. This hitch is well made.
I was very pleased with the fit and finish of the Weigh Safe hitch and scale. I also purchased a standalone tongue weight scale and was happy to see both of them give me very identical readings. I would like to see an additional pin on the height adjustment pin so it’s not relying solely upon the key lock. I would certainly recommend this hitch for someone that wants to know their trailer tongue weight. Will definitely cut down my trips to the CAT scale and provide a more accurate measurement. I can also move weight around and see direct results on the tongue.
Everything is good.
Looks great & built very well. Haven’t used it yet.
Everyone was very helpful and kept me informed on any changes on delivery of the product. Thank you for your professionalism.
Love it! I have the smaller 2" and have had it for several years and I will not be without one going forward to be able to know on every trailer how much tung weight I have.
If I could find the keys to my original one I would not have ordered it. But I couldn't do I didn't hesitate in ordering a new one. But I forgot to get the 1 7/8 ball to go with it. Will order it sometime soon.
This Weigh Safe drop hitch is very well made. It will serve my purpose with the 2" and the 2-5/16" balls.
Exactly as described, works well!
I've used this for 12 months on a wide range of trailers 3000-15,000# and it's a great product. At the Cat Scale last week I checked the tongue weight at 1300# on the gauge and it was correct. The range of heights is great with trailers from car carrying box trailer to very tall ag trailer, it works with my 1 ton for all. The light weight makes it easy to mount and dismount 1 handed.
