Switching between trailers of different heights is no problem with this mount. The adjustable platform slides along the shank in 1" increments, giving you up to a 4" drop or 5" rise. Once set, dual pins lock it firmly in place so your trailer stays level and steady on every haul.
Built for serious towing, this setup handles up to 12,500 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball and 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball. The solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum shank keeps weight down while staying rock-solid under load, and the chrome-plated steel hitch balls add strength and corrosion resistance. It’s the kind of heavy-duty gear that feels secure the moment you hitch up.
If you pull more than one trailer, you know the hassle of keeping track of different ball sizes. This mount fixes that with a dual-sided design—just remove the pins, flip the platform to switch between the 2" and 2-5/16" balls, slide it back into position, and you’re ready to go. No extra tools or loose parts needed.
Road grime, rain, and salt can take their toll on towing gear. The polished aluminum shank resists corrosion while keeping weight low, and the chrome finish on both hitch balls helps them stay clean and protected after miles on the road. It’s a dependable setup that keeps performing season after season.
Once this mount slides into a 2" x 2" receiver and you pin it down, it sits tight. The solid block construction minimizes play, helping reduce rattle during towing. With two hitch pin hole options—8-1/2" or 9-5/8" from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball—you can fine-tune your fit for a confident connection every time.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Weigh Safe 180 trailer hitch with two-inch shank. Now, this 180 hitch is going to slide into your two-inch hitch receiver and it's going to give you a two-inch and 2 5/16 inch double-sided tow ball, making switching tow ball sizes very easy. This is also going to give you a four-inch drop when you have it in this position. And then when you flip this over, you're gonna get a five-inch rise and then you're gonna have a incremental adjustment of about one inch. And this is going to give you the height adjustability so you can tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle.
This has a gross towing weight with 2 5/16 inch hitch ball of 12,500 pounds and with the two-inch hitch ball 8,000 pounds. And then you're gonna have a maximum tongue weight of 1,500 pounds. This hitch is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminium, giving you superior strength and durability. The solid block construction is going to give you greater strength than some hollowed steel options, but it's also going to maintain a light weight. And this is of course gonna be rust proof.
It's gonna have a clean finish that's going to stand the test of time. Our hitch balls are chrome-plated and this does feature a a dual pin slider lock that's going to make adjusting the height and switching the tow ball sizes very easy. So I'm gonna remove the included rubber cover here. This cover does protect the lock core from dust and debris and things like that. But let me give you a brief demonstration just how easy this is going to be to adjust.
So I'm gonna use one of the tube keys that's included here and unlock this. And so that's going to allow me then to just remove these pins here. So this lock is plated steel with aluminum pins. So the housing is going to resist corrosion. And so as you can see, this is gonna be very easy to adjust.
And then if you want to switch the ball sizes, you're just gonna flip this over and drop that back into place. So you're not going to be struggling at the back of your vehicle to get the height or the ball size that you need. And then let me just slide those back in and the pin slide in very easily, which is nice. So you're gonna be able to get the adjustment and the ball size that you need in virtually no time at all. So as I mentioned, two keys are included. I'm just gonna line this up here again. And in case you we inchesre wondering about some measurements, let me see if I can give those to you. So I'm gonna go ahead and line it up this way here. So I'm gonna give you the measurement from the first hitch pin hole, the center of our first hitch pin hole to the center of our ball. So lining that up there, as you can see on center, we're right at 8.5 inches. And then moving to that second hitch pin hole, so from the center of that hole to the center of the ball, about 9 5/8 inches. And the hitch pin hole diameter is 5/8 of an inch. And then if you we inchesre wondering about the measurement from the center of that second hitch pin hole to the end of the shank, right at about 1 7/8 inches, this is V5 and J684 certified. So this is very well designed. I think it's gonna hold up really well for you, I think it's gonna look great for many years to come and give you that adjustability that you're looking for. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Love it, no more rust. works great looks great
it gave me that extra inch for the Rock Tamers
Work horse and light weight. Comes with key locks keyed alike for hitch and ball. Stainless steel ball ensures durability for towing long term.
The 180 Weigh Safe is an excellent adjustable hitch. Exceptional fit and finish.
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.
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.
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.
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!
worked just fine. easy to adjust. will work for both trailers of different hitch height
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 !
Hitch works well. Seems it could be a bit tighter when in receiver on truck but overall is a good purchase.
Great price outstanding quality and had it to my front door in less than 48 hours!
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
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.
Love it
Great hitch. Very functional
As advertised. Precision piece!
The fit and finish are great I have been using it with no issues at all. I am glad I bought this and I will recommend it to my friends.
High quality. Website videos helped with selection decision. Decent price. Fast shipping
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.
Condition: Surface Scratches
Notes: There are scratches on the ball mount. Otherwise, new and unused. All hardware is included.
