This Fastway Flash Solid Steel Series ball mount offers exceptional durability and strength while maintaining a high-quality appearance. Its solid forged steel construction is durable and sturdy enough to last for years to come. With a rust-resistant glossy finish, this ball mount will make any vehicle look fantastic.
The adjustable ball height lets you tow a variety of trailers with different tongue heights. Having both a 2" ball and a 2-5/16" ball allows for even more versatility, making this the ultimate go-to ball mount if you own multiple trailers.
Changing Ball Height and Replacing Balls
To adjust the height of the ball, remove the included pins so that you are able to slide the ball platform up or down along the shank to the desired position. Re-insert the pins once you have found the correct height. Switching the hitch ball is just as easy. Simply remove the pins holding the ball platform in place and slide the platform off of the shank. Flip the platform upside down so that the ball you want to use is on top. Then slide the ball platform back onto the shank and replace the pins and clips.

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2 Ball Mount for two and half inch hitches. This heavy duty ball mount with the included hitch balls, let you hook up for your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion slides into the receiver tube of your hitch. And then the hitch balls provide the connection point for your trailer's coupler.Now it does feature multiple adjustment holes, so it has an adjustable height design that let's you tow trailers of different heights using the same vehicle and the same mount, and ensures that your set up is as level as possible. All you have to do is remove the pins and the clips, and then you can slide the mount platform up or down the shank and secure it in place by reinstalling the pins and clips.You also have two differently sized hitch balls that let you two trailers with different coupler sizes. All you have to do is take it off, flip the platform over, and then reinstall it securing it with the pins and clips.It's really easy to do, you have a two and five sixteenth inch ball, and a two inch ball.
So we'll take out the clips and then we'll take our pins and remove those as well. So, with it like this, you can slide it up and down the shank, and get the adjustment you need. If you need to switch between the balls, you just flip it over, and reinstall it. So making adjustments with this unit is quick and easy. And all you do once you have your holes lined back up, place the pins through and make sure you get the clips on the other side.The mount's made from a durable steel.
We have a nice solid forged steel shank offers exceptional strength and commercial grade towing capacity. It has a nice durable glossy finish that's designed to help the unit resist rust and corrosion. Chrome finishing on the steel hitch balls. You have a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure it inside the hitch. That is sold separately, and available at etrailer.com.
Product is made in the USA. It is designed for two and a half inch by two and a half inch trailer hitch receivers. Again, you have a two inch ball and a two and five sixteenth inch ball. The gross towing weight capacity when using the two and five sixteenth inch ball is 20,000 pounds. When using the two inch ball it's 12,000 pounds.
And then your tongue weight capacity is 2,000 pounds.If you're using this in the dropped position, and if you have the platform at the lowest setting, it's going to give you a maximum drop of six inches. That's measured from the inside top edge of the receiver tube of your hitch, down to the top of the ball platform. If you flip it over, and use it in the rise position, and if you have it at its highest setting, it's going to give you a maximum rise of seven inches. Again from the inside top edge of the receiver tube of your hitch, up to the top of the ball platform.The adjustment holes are separated on center by one and five sixteenths inches, so that's your incremental height adjustment. The distance that we got from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch balls is around nine and one quarter inches. And then when you're using this in the rise position, you want to make sure that you have enough clearance from the back of your vehicle to the closest point of the upright. So from the center of the hitch pin hole to this upright portion here, that's about three and a half inches.That's going to do it for today's look at the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2 Ball Mount for two and half inch hitches.

We are very pleased with hitch, and how fast we recieved it. We will do buisness with this company again. 720149
Shipping was fast from etrailer and the price was good. I used the hitch to pull a flat bed out of storage, but haven't gone down the road yet. It is easy to use and very heavy duty. As some other reviews mention, there is a little too much of a gap so the hitch may rattle in the hitch when in use. There may be a product out there that can be used to fill-in and stop the rattle. I also bought the Hitch Locks (FA86-00-4225) and they work great. For the price, this is a great adjustable ball mount. 735451
Great product... Good be improved with a better coating/powder coating, other than that I'll give it a 5/5. 727930
Hitch was great, however the locking pin I purchased with it was CHEAP CHEAP....hitch got stolen in my driveway...meaning the thief did not have to expend much effort in getting the "locking" pin off....we or my 3 dogs would have heard the noise 732684
Product exceeded my expectations, would recommend etrailer and this product. Fast delivery, and the solid steel hitch is better than expected 599670
Product came in 4 days of ordering, very heavy duty feel. Can't wait to actually hook it to the my dump trailer later this weekend. I do wish there was a way to lock the ball head to the hitch. 654064
Rachael H - 06/08/2019This is awesome. I used to have a ball and a receiver for the three kinds of trailers I pull, Now I use this one for all my trailer needs. It also has a 12,000 limit with a 2"ball so pulling a Mini excavator or skid steer loader with no worries of exceeding the limits. 692383
Haven’t towed with it yet, but I’m pleased with it for the price. After research I determined this hitch doesn’t push the ball a mile away from the truck like some other adjustable ball mounts. For the ratings it can’t be beat for the price. Extremely fast shipping from etrailer.com. 671514
I've never had a problem ordering from etrailer.com. If there are any problems with my order, they guys at etrailer call me and explain whats going on. Website is easy to navigate and so far I have found everything I have looked for. 564666
I order this item for a gentlemen in the catering business to pull multiple size ball trailers. I installed it yesterday on his truck and he was totally amazed with the quality and happy to know he did not have to carry multiple receiver hitches. He had just purchased a new truck and he loved it. Thanks 599846
Sharon - 01/24/2020The product is well made but the finish is VERY poor quality ! it started rusting almost immediately from the paint on the body to the pins and including the ball, making adjusting the height at times difficult. . the hitch was purchased in the summer and I live in Idaho so no road salts or corrosives were an issue. The hitch does stay in the receiver all the time due to the amount of towing I do, and was completely repainted 6 months after purchase. 693231
I have not actually had the chance to try it out yet. The hitch is extremely heavy duty, which is what I wanted, it easily fit into my receiver. I am impressed with the craftsmanship of it and the swiftness of the shipping. 584611
Installation is easily done in 30 minutes in the driveway. Some maneuvering is needed to get the Curt receiver past the factory receiver mounting brackets. There is a clearance issue between the Curt receiver and a factory crossmember on both sides which can be remedied by adding a 3/4" grade 8 washer between the receiver and the frame on each side. It is easiest to torque down the four vertical bolts before installing the two horizontal ones as they interfere with getting a socket on the two rear vertical bolts. Curt did a good job eliminating all failure points (bolts) on the receiver hitch itself and the welds are solid. Overall the Curt receiver is overkill in a good way and it would be hard for even a good fabricator to design one that is stronger. Included are pictures of how it looks on a relatively tall factory height 2009 Dodge 3500 DRW with a 6" Fastway drop and 1220 pounds of tongue weight. 693755
I haven't pulled with it yet, but out of the box it seems very sturdy. I like the finished gloss black. I believe if your gonna use an adjustable hitch you need to invest in an anti rattle stabilizer since there is two parts of the hitch that can rattle. (The reciever and the hitch adjustment) 694705

Works great. I use it on 5 different trailers with both 2” and 2 5/16” ball. 790330
Great hitch and great price! 772640
Very heavy solid will last forever 771096
Amazing, heavy hitch... Love it. One hitch fits all, I don't have to switch between trucks anymore. 770651
The product was as expected, looked good, installation was straight forward & accomplished in approximately 15 minutes including unpacking. However a longer warranty would instill more confidence in the hitch. 765739
