Switching between different trailer heights doesn’t have to be a guessing game. The Weigh Safe 180 Hitch slides up or down the shank in 1" increments so you can dial in the perfect height every time. With a maximum drop of 8" and rise of 9", it keeps your trailer level and towing steady whether you’re hauling a small utility trailer or a full-size camper.
Strength matters when you’re pulling serious weight. This hitch is rated for up to 21,000 lbs gross towing weight using the 2-5/16" ball and 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball, along with a maximum tongue weight of 2,200 lbs. The solid block 6061 T6 billet aluminum shank and chrome-plated steel balls deliver dependable strength without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s built to stay solid under heavy loads trip after trip.
Towing more than one type of trailer? The double-sided platform carries both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball, making it simple to switch between coupler sizes. Just pull the dual pins, flip the platform, and lock it back in place. There are no loose parts to keep track of and no extra tools needed—just a quick flip and you’re ready to roll again.
This mount’s aluminum shank stays looking good even after long stretches in the weather. The chrome-plated steel balls resist rust and road grime, keeping them smooth where it counts. Built-in locks help secure the setup so it stays put when you leave it on the truck, giving you peace of mind along with a cleaner look.
The shank fits directly into a 3" x 3" hitch receiver and secures with a standard hitch pin or locking hitch pin (WS54CR sold separately). With distance options of 8-1/2" or 9-5/8" from the hitch pin hole to the ball center, it provides flexibility for different trailer couplers while keeping everything tight and stable in the receiver.

Hello, neighbors. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Weigh Safe 180 Hitch with two ball ball mount for your three inch by three inch hitch shanks, rated at 21,000 pounds max towing capacity with shiny chrome balls, and it has an eight inch drop or a nine inch rise. So folks, you're gonna get two balls. The two and five 16ths is rated at that 21,000 pound capacity, while the two inch ball is rated at 8,000 pounds capacity. The max tongue weight for the whole unit is 2,200 pounds.
Now real quick, I wanna start with some dimensions. From the center of the ball back to the center of this closest pinhole to the ball is eight and a half inches. And if you back up to the next hitch pin hole to the center of the ball, center to center, you get nine and five eights. Now spinning this around from the back of the shank to the center of the first hole is one and seven eights inches. And from the back of the shank to the center of that second hole is three inches overall.
The increments up or down on the rise and drop are in one inch increments. Again, you can flip it over, use it in the rise. However you want to do it or need for your specific applications. Now folks, the great thing with the adjustable ball mounts and having the dual balls is you can tow adjustable heights of different trailers, and there are different heights with the same vehicle. Maybe you have different size couplers and the different size balls help with that.
So this one unit is gonna give you a lot of versatility for using. Now this is one piece of solid build aluminum on the shank and the main head housing here, while the ball itself is all one piece. And it is a hardened steel but it is chrome plated over it. So everything here is rust resistant, corrosion resistant. It's very elegant looking, especially out in the sun.
I like it out in the daylight myself. It really shines and just looks really good on the back of vehicles, I think. Now getting into the lock and everything, you will get a dual pin lock that keeps the head attached to the shank. However, there's no hitch pin lock included. These are five eighth inch holes. You most likely already have a hitch pin lock, but if not, we sell them separately here at etrailer.com so you can purchase them as well if you need to. Unlocking it, you get nice tubular keys. That makes it a lot harder to pick these kinda locks. Simply take that dual pin out. And let's say you want to switch from two and five sixteens to two inch, invert the ball assembly 180, just like the name states. Put it back over. Now the pin assembly are lock assembly is on the other side 'cause we swapped it over. And line up your holes and simply lock it back in place and you are ready to go with the two inch ball. And then the dust cover that comes with it is a nice, squishy rubber if you will. Very durable. It's got some thickness to it, I like it. And it just simply pops over there and stays in place. So folks, again, this is the Weigh Safe 180. It is SAE J684 certified, and it meets the VESC regulations and it's V5 compliant. Well folks, that will wrap it up. Just a quick look at our three inch hitch Weigh Safe 180 Hitch Ball with Chrome Balls. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching. As always, stay safe when you're towing.

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!

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.

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.
