If you tow different trailers, getting the right height each time matters. The Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Zinc Balls makes that easy with 1" adjustment increments up to a 10" drop or 11" rise. You can dial in the perfect level for everything from a small utility trailer to a heavy camper, keeping your rig steady and balanced on the road.
When it’s time to haul something serious, this mount is ready. It’s rated for up to 7,500 lbs with the 1-7/8" ball and 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball, with a tongue weight limit of 1,500 lbs using either ball. That means you can move hefty loads like equipment or larger trailers with confidence, knowing the heavy-duty aluminum build and solid zinc balls won’t flinch under pressure.
No more swapping out mounts every time you hook up a different trailer. The two-sided platform gives you both a 1-7/8" and a 2" diameter hitch ball, secured with an internal pin for quick changes. Just flip and go—this setup lets you switch between multiple trailers in seconds without digging through tools or extra parts.
The aluminum alloy shank looks clean and stays that way, even after years of towing in wet or salty conditions. It’s tough yet lightweight, so it won’t weigh down your hitch when left installed full-time. The zinc-plated steel balls resist corrosion too, keeping the whole setup smooth and easy to maintain season after season.
The mount’s 9-1/4" measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole gives extra spacing for tailgate clearance or accessories like mud flaps. It’s a simple bit of extra length that makes a big difference when you’re backing up or dropping the tailgate without interference.

Ive used this ball mount a lot over the last year both in the 2-inch and 2 and 5/16-inch configuration and it has held up very well. There is a small grove in the shaft from my hitch receiver but, otherwise, it still looks almost new. I did ultimately purchase the lock set for those occasions where I would be disconnecting the trailer, I was towing overnight but didnt want to remove the ball mount only to have to put it back on in the morning.

Still going strong with over 38,000 miles towing a 20 aluminum tandem axle trailer loaded about 60 of those miles. Expected to see some significant wear by now but to my surprise there is every little that I can see. Excellent product which I have recommended to many friends and others. Teflon ball cap is a very nice feature.

Still working great. Have had no issues at all. One to mention though is I dont leave the hitch in when not being used.

Leon, I have the same problem and am looking for a resolution. Ive called Andersen my CA sales rep and left a message.Id even be interested in paying for a custom shank length to be built for me needs. Well see, fingers crossed.

After a year of use I love it. I hear too many problems from friends with other hitches and Im very satisfied with this purchase. It has stayed clean and shiny with just normal car washing and it still adjusts up and down smoothly. Still plenty sturdy and no more wiggle on the shaft then it had when I got it. Highly recommend getting the upgraded stainless steel locking pins from Andersen. Both locks are matching for each pin and far more secure than the standard barrel locks.
