Features to know about

Keeps Every Trailer Level: Adjustable 8" Drop and 9" Rise

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.

Handles Heavy Loads with Confidence: Up to 21,000 lbs GTW

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.

Adapts Fast for Different Trailers: Dual Hitch Balls in One Mount

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.

Stays Clean and Secure: Built-In Locks and Corrosion-Resistant Finish

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.

Straightforward Fitment: For 3" x 3" Hitch Receivers

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.

Video Transcript for Review of Weigh Safe 180 Hitch Chrome Balls 3 inch Shank - WS82RR

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.

Lighter then expected. Love it and looks great. Can't wait to pull some trailers with my new truck and hitch
by:
Love the hitch so far. Nicely machined. I read in the documentation that I should be able to get a hitch pin with matching key.

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:
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:
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:
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.

by:
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.
by:
Work horse and light weight. Comes with key locks keyed alike for hitch and ball. Stainless steel ball ensures durability for towing long term.
by:
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:
Easy to install sturdy towing platform. Like that ths ball mount can be stowed out of the way.
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:
High quality. Website videos helped with selection decision. Decent price. Fast shipping
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.
