• Recommended Ball Mount for a 2016 Ram 1500
  In order to find the correct ball mount for your 2016 Ram 1500 you are going to need to measure from the ground to the top of the inside edge on your truck's trailer hitch receiver tube opening and then compare that to the distance from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on your trailer while level.

• Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350
  It sounds like from your history on our site that you're looking for an adjustable ball mount for your 2017 Ford F-350. Of the three ball mounts you looked at, parts # MD206, # FA49-00-5625,and # FA42-00-2825 I like the Fastway # FA42-00-2825 because it has a slightly higher amount of travel in the rise and drop but more importantly is completely aluminum causing it to be lighter and resistant to corrosion. The # FA42-00-2825 fits a 2-1/2 inch receiver so if your truck has 2 inch then...

• Compatibility of a Hitch for a 1972 Chevrolet K Series Truck
  The Curt # C15511 hitch is the confirmed fit for a 1972 Chevrolet K Series truck if you have the 8 foot bed and the deep drop rear bumper. The measurement from the top of the tube to the mounting flange is 8-1/32 inches. The extended length was to make sure the hitch would clear the bumper. If you have the standard bumper, then the Curt Hitch # C14082 is the confirmed fit. If # C15511 can be installed on the standard bumper model, then there will be a large gap between the bumper and...

• Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Use with Fastway Flash E-Series Ball Mount
  Since the Flash E Series Ball Mounts # FA42-00-2800 have aluminum, solid shanks you would have to use an Immbolizer like part # BX88224 to get rid of the movement. I attached a review video for this anti-rattle device as well.

• Recommended Hitch Lock and Ball Mount Compatible with 3 Inch Hitch with Reducer Sleeve
  The Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w Chrome Balls # FA42-00-2800 has a 5/8 inch pin hole diameter. I believe you will be able to use the Fastway Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set for Flash E Series Ball Mounts # FA86-00-3660 for a locking combination. The hitch lock is 3-5/8 inches from inside to inside so as long as your 3 inch receiver is under that 3-5/8 at the outer edges you will be fine. You can alternatively use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Lock - 3" Hitch...

• What is the Rise of Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC10
  Because there isn't an 8-3/4 inch rise category for ball mounts the Convert-A-Ball mount # AMSC10 is lumped into the 9 inch rise category. The actual rise is 8-3/4 inches. In the grand scheme of things that 1/4 inch difference isn't going to cause you any problems and the trailer will be more level than most other setups I have seen. If exactly 9 inches is required your best option is adjustable ball mount # FA42-00-2800 which has a maximum rise of 9 inches. I have linked a video review...

• Recommended Adjustable Ball Mount With 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for 7,000 lb Trailer
  So the answer to the exact adjustable ball mount you need really depends on the amount of rise or drop you require. If you aren't sure how to measure for that, I've added a link to a help article detailing how to determine that. With that in mind, I'll give you some options, and I also want to point out that adjustable ball mounts do come with both a 2" hitch ball and 2-5/16" hitch ball, though if you never need the 2" ball you can simply store it away. I recommend the Flash E Series...

• Why Does the Flash E Series Adjustable Ball Mount Rattle While Driving
  The hitch balls on the Flash E Series Adjustable Ball Mount, # FA42-00-2800, will rattle somewhat in the ball mount when not towing. The rattle is due to the shank of the hitch ball being narrower than the mounting slot on the shank of the ball mount. While towing the rattle will be minimal because the weight on the hitch ball will push the hitch ball shank into the slot on the ball mount. If the rattle you are experiencing is at your trailer hitch receiver, then that can be easily remedied...

• Fastway Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2-Inch Hitch
  The Flash E Series HD 18K Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2825 is intended for a 2-1/2-inch hitch but we do have similar adjustable ball mounts that will fit the 2-inch hitch on your 2017 Chevrolet Colorado.

• Choosing a Ball Mount for a 2015 GMC Acadia Denali with Factory Tow Package
  I have a coworker with a 2015 GMC Acadia that has the tow package as well so I went out to check it out. The hitch on the vehicle does have safety chain loops on each side of the receiver so you would not have to have a ball mount that has safety chain loops. The ball mount you use will depend on how much rise or drop you will need to tow the trailer level. To determine that there are a couple of measurements needed. First measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on...

• Aluminum Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation that has 1-7/8 inch and 2 inch Hitch Ball
  To get an aluminum adjustable ball mount that can have a 1-7/8 inch ball on it you would need to replace the balls of the # FA42-00-2800 with the part # DTBM23 and then you would have a 1-7/8 inch ball and a 2 inch ball. There isn't a version of the 180 ball mounts that has both sizes you wanted.

• 2014 Cadillac Escalade Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation
  Your 2014 Cadillac Escalade would most likely not have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed on it, but if it did the part # FA42-00-2825 would work. Most likely you have a 2 inch hitch installed though and would need the # FA42-00-2800 which is the same thing but for the 2 inch hitch size. The larger hitch size is normally only seen on heavy duty trucks.

• Can Fastway Flash E Series Adjustable Ball Mount be Used with Sway Control Device
  I do have a solution for you, however, as you referenced in your question, an adjustable ball mount like the Fastway Flash E Series # FA42-00-2800 will not be able to accept a sway control kit such as the Reese # 83660. This ball mount does not have a platform for the sway control bar to attach to and using a bracket like # RP26003 will not work because the hitch ball cannot be removed. If you are needing an adjustable ball mount that you can use with a sway control bar, I recommend looking...

  As long as the pin diameter matches up on your Adjustable Ball Mount part # FA42-00-2800 with the part # C23556 the locks being a bit too long would not matter. Normally we would recommend the part # AM3493, but if the Curt fits it would work as well.
