Specs:
This unique adjustable ball mount from Gen-Y Hitch has a vertical shank that is made up of 5 stacked 2" receivers that can accept almost any hitch-mounted accessory. This lets you easily adjust the height of the included ball mount, or any other accessory you choose to use. This mount also has built-in shock absorption to ensure a safe, smooth towing experience. Using technology similar to that found in torsion trailer axles, the Gen-Y mount absorbs road shock, isolating any rough jarring or chucking at the connection point. This prevents the rough motion from transferring from the vehicle to the trailer and vice versa.
Driving over bumps, potholes, and uneven terrain causes road shock, which can result in a rough, bumpy ride and even potentially damage your vehicle or trailer. This Gen-Y Hitch torsion mount is designed to absorb road shock at the connection point to create a safe, smooth ride. This is thanks to the internal construction of the mount, which is similar to that of a torsion axle.
Pivot points are built into the Gen-Y mount. This allows for movement between the base, which slides into your vehicle's trailer hitch, and the stacked receivers, which provide the connection point for your trailer. When your trailer hits a bump, the stacked receiver portion of the mount will move up or down accordingly.
Built into the Gen-Y mount are tubes with inner bars that are surrounded by rubber cords. As the receivers rise or fall, these inner bars twist inside of the tubes, attempting to follow the receivers' motion. But the rubber cords prevent the bars from twisting too far. And as each bar turns, these cords compress to absorb the shock. This means that any shock experienced by your truck can be absorbed before it reaches your trailer, and the shock experienced by your trailer won't get transferred to your truck.
This type of shock-absorption system is easy to maintain. Just regularly apply grease to the built-in zerk to keep the components in working condition. No airbags to fill. No small parts to repair or replace. No hassle.
This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 5 stacked receivers that sits along the vertical shank of the unit. This dual-ball mount lets you tow a trailer with a 2" ball coupler or a 2-5/16" ball coupler.
Also included is a pintle lock, which can be inserted into the receiver directly above the ball mount to create a pintle hitch for hooking up a trailer with a lunette ring. Unlike other adjustable pintle hooks on the market, there are no nuts and bolts to remove and retorque when you change the positioning of this hitch. Just move the ball mount and pintle lock up or down to get the proper height and secure them in place with the included pins.
With the 5 stacked receivers, not only do you have the ability to adjust the height of the included ball mount, but you also have the ability to add various other hitch-mounted accessories. Insert a bike rack or cargo carrier. Mount a spare tire carrier. Use a tow bar to flat tow your vehicle. Or just add a fun hitch cover.

Insert this shock-absorbing, adjustable mount into your hitch to get 5 stacked 2-1/2" receivers. Flexing rubber cords limit shock. 2" Ball, 2-5/16" ball, and pintle hook included.I've used the hitch a few times and I can tell it's built well. I'm confident this might be the last hitch I'll have to buy. It's durable, has adjustable height and I can use my weight distributing hitch with it. It covers all bases and also has a dampening system.
THis is our second Boss hitch they are wonderful and function just as designed to smooth out the impacts between the truck and rig. Had a slight issue with the first delivery but E-Trailer replaced it no questions asked and two days later the new one showed up and the UPS driver took away the first. Great customer service which is very rare these dasys.
Extremely well built and pulls the trailer amazingly but is extremely heavy
Fantastic heavy duty hitch.
I've several trips lately that involved towing, used a friend of mine's 21K torsion and loved it so, I bought my own. Mine is a 16K but plenty of beef for what I tow. Thank you again, made in America and was delivered extremely quick. Best product I've ever seen for towing especially bumper pull. I'm telling all my friends who have trucks and bumper pull.
Arrived earlier than expected. I took it out the box and installed it right away. I hooked up my trailer and, “oh my goodness” what a difference! Great hitch! Last hitch I will ever buy!!!!!
This receiver hitch is amazing. Most of all, I appreciate the safety, performance and limited wear and tear it provides to my family and the truck. One thoughtful suggestion, would be to include the lifetime warranty for the hitch rather than having to pay additional for it. Unfortunately, did not purchase the warranty in faith that our USA built product will not need any repair. Thanks again!
Great heavy duty adjustable ball mount. The only negative is lifting it to put it in the receiver... It's heavy! One unit does the work of 3 pieces that I used to have to carry with me.
It works great. Highly recommend, but beware of two things: price and weight. It’s not cheap, and it weighs roughly 90 pounds.
Tows like a champ. The ride is so much smoother while towing.
Excellent and easy to use e-commerce site, quick to ship with personal updates! I will be back, thank you for your good work!
Great product
Great Service!
Purchased used but in excellent condition. Hoping to obtain the rebate offer to apply towards the locking pins.
I just received the hitch and installed it but have not had a chance to pull with it. It appears to be very well made and is a heavy hitch at 118lbs. I have a 45ft coach and pull a 16k stacker trailer so will see how it does. Will update in a couple of weeks.
Love the height adjustment for all 3 of my trailers suuper solid, I get compliments all the time when people see it "wow that things stout!" Keeps the trailer tongue from excessive bobbing, the pins it came with are a huge improvement from the standard Bobby pin style I was used to. Over all I do not regret a dollar spent and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an initial purchase or upgrade their tow life
I did my research before ordering. I know exactly what I need and want. My boat trailer tongue weight is 750lbs so I went with the Gen-Y Torsion Flex 2" Hitch - 7.5" Drop/Rise 10k. (Works Best with 400-1,000lbs tongue weight). Also got the BEST price due to their 110% Price Match Guarantee.
I love this heavy duty--emphasis on HEAVY--hitch! I barely felt my trailer on my truck while driving it was so smooth! The only drawback is how heavy it is... It is a bit of a feat for me to lift and insert then remove this hitch at the end of a race weekend--but I feel it is well worth it!
This hitch is amazing!!! Be prepared though it is very heavy! I love how easy it is to adjust to different heights and ball sizes with the 2 common sizes provided. The scale on the back can be helpful to let you know if you have the proper trailer weight. The more you use it the more you will like it!

The shock absorber feature only works when the trailer has significant tongue weight. Granted, when I have a heavy load, it’s nice, but when I have an empty trailer, it’s like any other hitch. Also, it sets off my backup sensor alarm. My other hitches don’t do that. I wouldn’t buy it again.
