  • Availability of Longer Ball Mount with 4 inch Drop
    Hey Garnett, the longest ball mount we have that has a 4 inch drop and fits a 2 inch hitch is the Curt # C45270 which is 13 inches long from the hitch pin hole to the hitch ball center.

  • Can Hopkins Wiring Harness for 2013 Subaru Outback be Stored in Hatch When Not in Use
    You can absolutely store the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143865 in the hatch of your 2013 Subaru Outback when you aren't using it instead of routing it outside the vehicle. The connector end will be long enough to hang outside your hatch when you need to connect it to your trailer. I have added a link to the instructions and a video install for you to check out as well of the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143865. If you also need a trailer...

  • Is it Better to Go with Higher or Lower Rise Ball Mount than Needed
    You've got good instincts. I recommend going with a ball mount that has a 2 inch rise for the exact reason you mentioned, the truck will settle a bit with the tongue weight and any cargo weight. The ball mount we offer with a 2 inch rise is the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270. This is considered an extra long ball mount, measuring 13 inches from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. Another option is the Curt Ball Mount for 2 Inch Hitches - Angled Shank # C45230. This ball mount has...

  • Extended Ball Mount For Class A RV To Pull a Tow Dolly With Van
    Rather than using an Extension # e88YR you might consider using a extended ball mount. We have a couple different lengths depending on how much distance you will need to your Dolly # DM9713093. The distances listed below are from the center of the hitch pin to the center of the hole for mounting a hitch ball. 15-3/4" Ball Mount # 80232 13" Ball Mount # C45270 11" Ball Mount # 40345 If you can provide me with some more information about the length you need and what size ball your dolly...

  • Dimensions of the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack JET-5000
    From the center of the tube to the furthest part of the motor housing on the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack item # JET-5000 measures right at 5-3/4". The distance from the mounting bracket to the top of the jack is 23". This jack would clear a tailgate if the measured distance from the back of the tailgate to the jack mounting point on the trailer was 24", which gives 1" of clearance. It can not be mounted at 90 degrees. No electric jack like this can. If you are worried about...

  • How To Use a Trunk Mount Bike Rack While Towing a Trailer
    In order to use a trunk mount bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack part # Y02633 on your 2013 Acura MDX while also towing a trailer you would indeed need to extend the connection point in order to prevent any turning clearance issues. For this, a ball mount with extended shank will do the job just fine. I recommend the Curt Class III Drawbar part # C45270 but if you can provide me with your exact rise/drop needs I may have a better option for you. There would likely be turning...

  • Longer Ball Mount Recommendation with 2 inch Rise
    So we know you'll need a longer ball mount which we do offer, but what I need to know most is how much rise/drop you need so that your trailer will tow level. If you need a 2 inch rise we have the Curt part # C45270 which has a 2 inch rise and a length of 13 inches overall.

  • Needing Long Ball Mount With 4 or 5 Inch Drop
    Although we don't have a 15-3/4 inch long ball mount with a 4-5 inch drop, we can get you pretty close to that. The Curt # C45270 measures 13 inches in length measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hole where the trailer ball installs. This is the longest ball mount we offer with the type of drop you're needing. The ball mount has a 7500 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacity and a 4-inch drop, For a 1-7/8 trailer ball, use # 40038 or # 63845 for a 2-inch ball.

  • Best Solution For a Truck Tailgate To Clear The Electric Tongue Jack On a A-Frame Trailer
    I am not aware of any electric trailer jacks that you can rotate just the head of the jack 90 degrees. I have seen the jacks rotated the 120 degrees to line up with the bolt holes that the jack uses to mount to the trailer. This may make your jack more difficult to operate depending on what side of the trailer you are on and if it has a light it will not likely shine on the coupler to help you see at night. I recommend using an extend ball mount or weight distribution shank. The Curt...

  • Is there a Height Adjustable Trailer Coupler for a 2 Inch Ball
    We have numerous adjustable ball mounts, see link, but as far as adjustable couplers you would want to look at channel mount designs such as # PSA200S0303 which you could use with channel # C45910. I have linked videos on both of these parts for you.

  • Transmission and Power Steering Coolers for 2015 Jeep Patriot
    The 2015 Jeep Patriot with either 2.0L or 2.4L engine does have a towing capacity of 1000-lbs; the 2.4L models with the Trailer Tow Prep Package (AHC) or the Freedom Drive II Off Road Package (AWL) can tow up to 2000-lbs trailer weight. You can see these towing specs in the page from the owner's manual (page 179) that I linked for you. Towing capacity for any vehicle is determined by the auto maker and adding aftermarket products does not increase it. Installing a hitch with a higher rating,...

  • Recommended Hitch Extender to Clear Truck Camper on 2016 Ram 2500
    The dual tube TorkLift extenders that you mentioned do offer a longer extension but they are designed specifically for dual receiver trailer hitches from TorkLift like # TLC1204. Unfortunately there is not one currently available for your 2016 Ram 2500 so your only option will be with a standard single tube extender. The longest standard extender we have available is an 18 inch long unit like the Curt # C45796. This inserts into a 2 inch receiver like what you already have on your truck...

  • How Much Rise Does Curt Rockerball Give Ball Mount
    The Curt Rockerballs like the part # C94CR add 1-1/2 inches of height compared to a standard ball so if you used this with a ball mount that has 2 inches of rise like the # C45270 that you referenced you'd effectively have a 3-1/2 inch rise. So for the amount of rise that you want your best option would be the part # C40047 for a Rockerball since it has a 1 inch shank diameter and then the Brophy ball mount # BM20 which has a rise of 3/4 inches. This would get you really close to what...

  • Clearance Needed for Tailgate to Open With Stromberg Carlson Electric Jack
    From the center of the tube to the furthest part of the motor housing on the Stromberg Carlson Electric Trailer Jack # JET-5000 measures approximately 5-3/4 inches. If you are worried about having enough clearance for your tailgate there is a simple solution, which is a long ball mount. Assuming you have a 2" hitch there are a number of options depending on the rise of drop you need: - Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop, Extra Long # D-26 - Curt Class III Drawbar - 2" Rise - 4" Drop -...

    The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the gusset welded onto the Curt # C45311 is 4 inches, as shown in the provided photo. If you're wanting something with a longer shank for additional clearance, I'd recommend the Curt # C45270 which would offer a similar rise/drop but with a shank that's 8 inches long, measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the ball platform. The ball mount is rated for 7500 lbs. I've also provide a photo of this ball...

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount for Class III Hitches
    It sounds like you need an extended ball mount like the Curt Class III item # C45270. This one is 13" long has a 2" rise and 4" drop. It has a 7,500 lbs weight capacity. I don't know how long your current ball mount is or if it has any drop but this one will definitely be longer than any standard ball mount and give you enough clearance to clear your propane tanks. For a 2" hitch ball I recommend the Curt item # A-90.

  • Hitch Extenders for Lincoln Navigator
    The hitch extension and reducer # C45048, is for 2 ½ inch trailer hitch receivers, If your Lincoln Navigator has a 2 ½ receiver opening it will fit but you should also know that it reduces the weight of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. With that being said, I believe that Navigators all came with a factory trailer hitch receiver with a 2 inch opening. But, if was I was in your situation I would go with the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270. By using a longer ball mount instead of an extension,...

  • Option for Adding Length Between Tow Vehicle and Trailer
    You didn't say how much more length you'd need to let your tailgate open but we have the Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 which is 13 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the ball hole to center of the pin hole. This is most likely longer than what you have. The problem with hitch extenders is that they cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by quite a bit and most wouldn't have the capacity needed for a travel trailer your size.

  • What Can I Do To My Trailer A-Frame Jack To Allow My Tailgate To Open On My Truck?
    You can rotate the Lippert Electric Trailer Jack with Footplate # LC285318 but the jack is only capable of turning 120 degrees in either direction. Remember that there is a light on the jack that will also no longer shine in the correct direction. A better option would be to use a longer ball mount or drop shank if using a weight distribution hitch. These will move the ball for the trailer further from your truck so that you will be able to use the jack in its current position. The...

  • Hitch Ball Shank Length Recommendation for Sway Control Tab Used with Curt Ball Mount C45270
    The sway control tab # RP26003 is 3/8 inch thick. The hitch balls recommended for the Ball Mount # C45270 are 2-1/8 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. So for a ball with a long enough shank you would want the part # C40020 for a 2 inch ball or part # 105TB for a ball that comes with several ball diameters.

It offers 13 inches of lift and is rated for 2,000 pounds. Another option is the Pro Series Round, A-Frame Jack w/ External Gearbox # PSRV20000103.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2011 Honda Odyssey
    That's a very good question. With a hitch being installed on a vehicle and the receiver tube sitting below the rear bumper, entering a driveway can cause the bike racks or what ever is attached to the hitch to scrape. Although there are no guarantees, there may be ways to help prevent some of that. Many things can cause scraping when attaching items to the hitch, like degree of incline, hitch height from the ground, height of trailer from the ground, etc. The trailer hitch I recommend...

  • Extended Hitch to Tow 2,000 Pound Trailer
    The # BX88264 hitch extender is for flat towing or carrying hitch accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Instead, the Curt Hitch Extender # C45795 can be used for towing. It's 14 inches long. However, when using any hitch extender, you will reduce your hitch's tongue weight by 50 percent. You will need to make sure you are staying under this capacity. For another option that won't impact your tongue weight, the Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45270 is 13 inches long. It provides...

  • Tongue-Mounted Bike Rack For Scamp Travel Trailer
    I think your best option is to use theHitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers # LC731138. This can fit onto your shank or trailer tongue (fits between 2"-3" in diameter) between your vehicle and travel trailer and provides a nice 2-bike platform rack. One thing to keep in mind is that you may need a longer shank if you don't already have an extended one. Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 may work which measures 13" from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball mount hole. This...
