Features to know about

Keeps Every Trailer Level: 4" Drop or 5" Rise

When you’re switching between trailers, keeping things level isn’t optional—it’s the difference between an easy haul and constant sway. The Weigh Safe 180 Hitch makes it simple with a 4" maximum drop and 5" rise, so you can dial in the exact height your load needs. The incremental 1" height adjustment lets you match different trailer couplers precisely, keeping your setup balanced every time you tow.

Handles Heavy Loads Without Flinching: Up to 18,500 lbs GTW

For big hauls like loaded campers, boats, or equipment trailers, strength is everything. This hitch is rated for up to 18,500 lbs gross towing weight on the 2-5/16" ball and 8,000 lbs on the 2" ball, with a maximum tongue weight of 2,200 lbs. The solid block 6061 T6 billet aluminum shank and stainless steel balls are built to handle serious towing pressure while staying lightweight and corrosion resistant.

Switches Between Trailers Fast: Two Stainless Steel Balls in One

If you’re tired of swapping out different mounts for every trailer, this setup cuts all that hassle. The stainless steel double-sided ball platform carries both a 2" and a 2-5/16" hitch ball. Just pull the locking dual pins, flip the platform, and reinsert—it takes seconds. Both balls stay attached to the mount, so there’s nothing extra to store or misplace when switching between trailers.

Stows Cleanly When You’re Done: Flip-Back Design Keeps It Out of the Way

Once you’ve unhitched for the day, flip the platform behind the shank to keep it tucked close to your vehicle. The stowable design means no shin-busting metal sticking out and no need to remove the mount completely. With locking pins that secure the platform and hitch receiver lock included, your setup stays put until you’re ready to tow again.

Video Transcript for Review of Weigh Safe 180 Hitch Balls - WS54UR

Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Weigh Safe 180 hitch with stainless steel balls. It's a two-ball ball mount for a two-and-a-half by two-and-a-half inch shank with a max four inch drop and five inch rise. Now folks, this is gonna be a nice double size ball mount here with two different tow balls to be able to carry different coupler sizes and trailer heights with ease. To switch the balls, you simply remove the locking pin, flip the ball over 180 degrees, reinsert the pin, lock it, and you're ready to go. Now as I said, you have an adjustable height, four inches of drop or five inches of rise.

The whole piece here is a solid aluminum shank and the balls are a stainless steel construction. So both ways, you don't have to worry about rust, corrosion, those kind of thing. You do get everything key to like. So you get the key for the hitch pin lock and the key for the dual locking pin here that secures the ball mount and lets you flip it over. So I'm gonna go ahead and take off these locks just so you can kind of see how easy it is to work 'em.

Simple lock for the hitch, and I'll use that same key here. And we'll undo the one for the ball mount here. So I'm gonna go ahead and flip this over. So it's as simple as taking that off, rotating it 180 degrees, putting it back on. And in this case, 'cause I flipped it over, now the lock is on my side.

And I just simply line up those holes and put the key back in and lock it in place. So it's that simple, folks. Took what, 10, 20 seconds So very simple to use, very nice. Now some measurements real quick. From the center of the ball to the center of the hitch pin holes on the closest hitch pin hole I got from the center of the ball back about eight-and-a-half inches.

And then from the center of the ball to the farthest center hitch pin hole, I got nine-and-five-eighth inches. From the center of this hitch pin hole to the back, I got three inches exactly. And then from the center of the farther back pinhole to the back, I got one-and-seven-eighth inches. Now these are one inch increments as far as the height or drop. Once again folks, 8,000 pounds in the two inch ball, 18,500 on the two-and-five-sixteenths. Very nice, very elegant ball mount here today. Again, rust proof, corrosion proof. This is the Weigh Safe 180 two ball mount for the two-and-a-half by two-and-a-half inch shank. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.

Glad you like it, Krag! Weigh Safe makes some dang good stuff! ^___^ What are you towing with it?

by:
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.
by:
very nice product ( should be for the price ) and very versatile. allowed me to adjust the tongue height on my new trailer in one inch drop increments until I was almost perfectly level with suspension sag. does rattle slightly and I would also recommend the matching keyed locking pin so it does not walk off. Elijah was very helpful when ordering.
by:
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.
by:
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
by:
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!

Still looks and works great! I added air bags to the rear suspension of the truck, which raised it up a bit with the trailer connected. Simply moved the ball mount down and the trailer is level again. Perfect!

by:
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 !
by:
Hitch works well. Seems it could be a bit tighter when in receiver on truck but overall is a good purchase.
by:
worked just fine. easy to adjust. will work for both trailers of different hitch height
by:
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.

Sure here are some pictures of the lock that got bound in the hitch from the trailer chain.

I did reach out to the manufacturer with the feedback about the lock. While this is not covered under warranty, they dd provide a solution for me. You can install a new locking dual pin assembly and dust cap. The instructions can be obtained by contacting us or Weigh Safe. The replacement locking dual pin assembly is part # WS03 and the dust cap is part # WS08.

by:
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.

The ball mount performed impeccably. Its highly adjustable, effortlessly handling my 8500-pound trailer with about 1,300 pounds of tongue weight across a rugged six-mile stretch of washboard road filled with dips and rocks. This product is exceptional.

Work horse and light weight. Comes with key locks keyed alike for hitch and ball. Stainless steel ball ensures durability for towing long term.

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 !!!

Awesome ball mount. Very versatile and strong. And it looks great on the truck too.

by:
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.

Still easy use and has held up well. Lost the rubber cap, but that didnt affect the lock.

by:
Easy to install sturdy towing platform. Like that ths ball mount can be stowed out of the way.
by:
Built like a brick....uh, doghouse! This ball mount is solid!
I bought this to go with our new Ford SD for pulling a low rider motorcycle trailer which has 4" drop axles. The old one was no where near the drop needed. As you can see in the photo, even this one was almost too short. It is just right at the lowest setting.
The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is the safety clips are horizontal to the ground. Being an OCD mechanical engineer, I would prefer them to be perpendicular to reduce the chance of brush and road debris pulling them out.

by:
Arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Very robust hitch and fits perfectly. Highly recommend this hitch.
by:
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!
