• Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2013 Ford F-350 with Factory 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
  The OEM Ford 2-1/2 inch receiver has more rounded edges. Many 2-1/2 inch accessories, in this case ball mounts, have more squared off corners. This difference causes the squared off accessories not to fit. In some cases, some of the powder coating can be removed from the shank on the accessory as long as none of the metal is ground off. That could work on a ball mount like # 45123 since it has more rounded corners than something like # RP45323. If you use an accessory that has more rounded...

• Is Sag Caused by Trailer Tongue Weight Considered When Choosing Ball Mount w/the Right Rise or Drop
  At most the tongue weight of a trailer would cause about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sag at the ball mount (give or take a little and different for every vehicle). But on a 2016 Ford F-250 the suspension is potentially beefy enough to limit the sag to even less than that. The trailer can be off of level one way or the other (high or low) by as much as 1 inch and still be considered level. For cushioned ball mounts that fit a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receiver we have the following options: #...

• Is There a Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit with 2" Ball and 3" Drop
  It sounds like you are looking at the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kits but wanting one with a 2" hitch ball and 3" drop ball mount. If that is the case then you will just need to use part # C63KR. In regards to the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount like part # AMSCV-2, they both use a polyurethane bushing to reduce shock. The benefit however of the RockerBall is that it can be lubed so it will ideally last longer and reduce noise more.

• Ball Mount Recommendation for a Ford F450 with a 2-1/2 inch Hitch Opening
  There are three ball mounts we offer that will work for the 2-1/2 inch hitch on your Ford F450 with a 2-1/2 inch opening. The problem that many encounter is that the Ford 2-1/2 inch hitches are very tight with round corners and many ball mounts like the Reese Titan Ball Mount # RP45323 that you referenced will not fit without modification. The ball mounts we have found to work on the Ford 2-1/2 hitches are the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-2, the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-4, and the...

• Using High Rise Trailer Ball to Achieve No Rise or Drop on Ballmount
  When determining the required rise or drop of ball mount needed, there will be many instances where the available ball mounts will not match up exactly with the rise or drop needed. As long as the ball mount used places the trailer within 1-1/2 inches of level, you will be absolutely fine. Having the trailer above level is preferable to under level, as most vehicles will squat or settle a bit once the trailer is hitched to the vehicle. If the Curt # C40036 high rise 2-5/16 trailer ball...

• Weight Capacity of Curt Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver, Part # C15810
  You are correct that the product description for the Curt Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver, Part # C15810, shows the same tongue weight and gross towing weight ratings with and without weight distribution. This is because unlike lower capacity hitches, say a Class III, this Class V hitch is already rated at or near the vehicle structural limits. Strictly speaking, adding a weight distribution setup would give this hitch receiver higher capacity, but it would serve no purpose. Unless...

• Ball Mount Recommendation Rated for 14,000 Pounds Gross Trailer Weight on a Ford F-450
  To determine the receiver size you have, I have included a link to an FAQ that will help. The Reese 2-1/2 inch Titan ball mounts like # RP45323 or the one found in # EBMK25318, tend not to fit the factory 2-1/2 inch receivers on Ford Super Duty trucks. You will need to use one of the Convert-A-Ball ball mounts. We have # AMSCV-6 with a 6 inch drop or 4-3/4 inch rise. We also have # AMSCV-4 with a 4 inch drop or 2-3/4 inch rise. And then we have # AMSCV-2 with a 2 inch drop or 3/4 inch...

• Does The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount AMSCV-2 Move Around In The Hitch
  The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitches part # AMSCV-2 does not move back and forth in the receiver enough to wear the inside of the receiver. The polyurethane interior of the ball mount does help to absorb vibration so it reduces the amount of slamming and banging that occurs especially when stopping. You will not need to worry about it wearing the inside of your receiver. If you need a 2" hitch ball part # A-90 will work well for you. You can use part # 19286 for a 2-5/16" ball.

• Options for Long Ball Mount for a 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
  You have two options, neither are ideal though. To get an extension 13 inches or more you are going to need to use a Titan Extension like part # RP45292. Only issue here is the minimum this extension this product can give is 24 inches, which may be too much. Then for a ball mount to go along with this extension you would want part # 4280 as this has a 2 inch drop like you requested. The other option you have would be a ball mount like part # AMSCV-2 which will fit your 2-1/2 inch hitch...

  The hitch you have referenced, Curt Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C15409, is a 2 inch receiver, and can be installed along with an OEM receiver, on your Dodge Ram 3500.

• Will The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount AMSCV-2 Work On 2022 GMC 2500 For Towing 10,000 lb Trailer?
  Hey Amy, thanks for reaching out. The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSCV-2 will absolutely work for a 10,000 lb trailer. This is for a 2-1/2" hitch so please confirm the hitch size on your GMC. I can't tell you with certainty if this will allow you to tow with the tailgate down, since I don't know what setup you are using currently. The ball mount itself is 9" long from the hitch pin hole to the ball hole. What I would do is hook up the trailer and try to lower the tailgate. If stuff on...

• Availability of a Trailer Hitch Ball with a 1-1/4 Inch Shank and a 1-7/8 Inch Diameter
  The only 1-7/8 inch ball that we carry with a 1-1/4 inch shank is # C48810, but this is used for a pintle hitch combo hitch. What you can do is use a bushing like # F-2 to go from a 1-1/4 inch ball hole to a 1 inch. You could then use a ball like # 19260.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch To Tow 2 Horse Trailer with 2004 Dodge Ram Truck
  With the trailer load you will be carrying, using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 13333, would put you near or slightly over the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, which is 600 lbs. If you were to use a weight distribution system when carrying your horse trailer you would be ok to use the Curt # 13333 Hitch. Tongue weight is calculated to be about 10 to 15 percent of the Gross Trailer Weight. I would recommend using the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch, part # C15409. This hitch will...

• Ball Mount with 2-1/2 Inch Shank to Fit the Factory 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Ford F-350
  The Reese Titan accessories used to have more squared edges and the Ford Super Duty 2-1/2 inch receiver requires something with more rounded edges like # AMSCV-2. It still may be a tight fit and in those cases, usually if you remove some of the powder coat from the ball mount shank (not any of the metal) you can get those snug accessories to fit properly. But we have had confirmation from a customer with a 2011 Ford Super Duty that it does fit his 2-1/2 inch receiver.
