mount diagram

This unique adjustable ball mount from Gen-Y Hitch has a vertical shank that is made up of 4 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.


Built-In Shock Absorption for a Smooth Ride

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.


torsion w/cutaway

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.


torsion diagram

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.


Multiple Stacked Receivers for Easy Adjustment

stacked receivers

This unique mount from Gen-Y Hitch includes a ball mount that can be easily positioned in one of the 4 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.


pintle hitch

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 4 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.

  • Compatibility of Stacked Receiver Ball Mounts with Weight Distribution Systems
    It looks like you want to add the torsion mounted ball mount to your 2018 Silverado and yet want to be able to keep you Equal-I-zer weight distribution system. The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop/Rise - 16K # 325-GH-1224 will work very well with that setup. The stacked receivers are able to use any weight distribution system utilizing the ball mount just like a receiver tube. If you want a stacked receiver without the torsion or at a different weight...

  • Gen-Y Shank for use with Weight Distribution System on 2015 Suburban LTZ with Max Trailer Package
    The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-1224 would work for your application but I recommend the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1202. This is made specifically for use with a weight distribution system and would basically replace shank included with the WD system. It features a gross towing weight capacity of 16,000 lbs and is rated for tongue weight from 1,200 lbs to 1,700 lbs. Check out the video linked below for more details.

  • Gen-Y Torsion Ball Mount for a 2017 Ford F-250
    The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-1324 is a beast. If your 2017 Ford F-250 has a 2-1/2 inch receiver opening then you will not be disappointed with this ball mount. If you want something that isn't going to break then you will not be disappointed. If you want to be the envy of all your friends then you won't be disappointed. If there is a tougher ball mount out there I haven't seen it. If your truck has a 2 inch receiver opening then I recommend going with # 325-GH-1224. It has a...

  • Is There a Tongue Weight Range for Gen-Y Torsion Adjustable Ball Mounts
    There are ideal tongue weight ranges for the Gen-Y Torsion ball mounts like the part # 325-GH-1224. If you tow a trailer with too low of a tongue weight the torsion spring won't flex as much so the ride quality wouldn't be as ideal. The part # 325-GH-1224 is for tongue weights higher than 1,000 lbs but less than 1,700 whereas the part # 325-GH-1024 (same in every other way) is for tongue weights between 500 and 1,100 lbs. Sounds like your tongue weight is 1,200 lbs which for that you'd...

  • Recommended Gen-Y Torsion Ball Mount for 2017 Ram 3500 Towing Daily
    For your 2017 Ram 3500, I recommend the Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount - 5" Drop/Rise # 325-GH-1224 or the 7-1/2" Drop/rise # 325-GH-1225 depending on the height of your trailer in regards to your trailer hitch receiver. Both are rated for up to 16,000 lbs towing and tongue weights up to 1,700 lbs. These 2 inch stacked receivers are very durable and well made for even commercial grade level applications. If you have a 2-1/2 inch hitch receiver, then I recommend the 6" Drop/Rise # 325-GH-1324...

  • Gen-Y Weight Distribution System for Different Tongue Weights and Compatibility with Torsion Hitch?
    For your Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-1024 the Weight Distribution System for Gen-Y Ball Mounts with 2" Receivers has been discontinued and will fit if you have it but is rated for 1,000 to 1,400 lbs total tongue weight. That total tongue weight is the loaded tongue weight of your trailer along with any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The issue with this particular pairing is the limitation of your 10K receiver as you stated. The solution is...

  • What is Weight of Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch # 325-GH-1224
    The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch # 325-GH-1224 that you referenced weighs 84 lbs. I'd recommend getting help to install it if that's too much weight for you to lift without over straining.

  • Can the Super Titan 4000 be Installed without the Spacer Plates?
    When installing the Reese Super Titan # 38208 the spacer plates are optional and should be used as needed; the spacer tubes contribute to the structural integrity of the installed hitch, so you will need to make sure they are mounted inside the frame channels. If you're looking for something that provides you a number of different mounting locations for a ball mount, you may want to consider a traditional hitch and a Gen-Y Ball Mount like the # 325-GH-1224; Gen-Y makes ball mounts for...

  • Recommended Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount for 4 Place Snowmobile Trailer
    The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-1224 is built very strong but it will be a really nice benefit to towing your heavy snowmobile trailer. It will absorb the shock and allow you to have a smooth ride. It is rated much higher than you 6,000 lb max trailer, but it will do exactly what you are hoping in taking the brunt of rough roads and pot holes versus transferring it directly to your truck frame. This is a heavy adapter, but we have had very positive reviews...

    The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop/Rise # 325-GH-1224 is a great option for a smooth ride when towing. If you are wanting to use it with a weight distribution system it will work together, but that will give you two moving parts which may not give you the feel you are looking for.

You would determine your weight distribution system based on the total tongue weight which is the loaded trailer tongue weight plus any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle.

  • Recommended Adjustable Cushioned Ball Mount for 2" Hitch on 2020 Chevy 2500HD
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt Rebellion XD # C45949 is not compatible with weight distribution hitches. Instead, I recommend using the Gen-Y Ball Mount # 325-GH-1224, which has a 16000-lbs capacity and can give you up to 5" of drop to help ensure that your trailer is towed level. This ball mount also has a dual hitch ball (2" and 2-5/16") to allow you to tow both of your trailers, so it's a flexible option that will allow you to cover a lot of different setups.
