This Weigh Safe ball mount has an easy-to-use, built-in scale that measures your trailer's tongue weight every time you tow. If the scale indicates that your tongue weight is too low or too high, you can adjust it before you head out so that you can complete your journey with the peace of mind that your setup is safe.
What is Tongue Weight?
Tongue weight (TW) refers to the weight that the fully loaded trailer exerts downward on the hitch ball of the tow vehicle. Tongue weight is typically 10 percent - and should not exceed 15 percent - of your gross trailer weight. For example, a 10,000-lb trailer should have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. You can adjust the tongue weight of your trailer by removing or adding cargo, or redistributing the load on the trailer. The tongue weight should not exceed the capacity of your tow vehicle, your hitch, or any of your towing components.
Why is Tongue Weight So Important?
Simply put, too little tongue weight can cause trailer sway and too much tongue weight can cause the tow vehicle to perform poorly. You may have difficulty steering, gaining traction, or braking when driving a setup that has too much weight pushing down on the rear of the vehicle. Ultimately, towing with an improper tongue weight can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or cause your trailer to separate from the vehicle.
Built-In Tongue Weight Scale
The Weigh Safe ball mount's built-in scale signals you to adjust your load before you hit the road, resulting in a much safer and enjoyable towing experience. Before this ball mount, gauging your trailer's tongue weight was a hassle. You had to rely on inefficient bathroom scales, make a trip to the weigh station, or purchase a separate tongue weight scale. But with the Weigh Safe's built-in scale, measuring your tongue weight is as easy as coupling your trailer to your ball mount. Simply hook-up your trailer to the Weigh Safe ball mount just as you would any other ball mount. The weight of your trailer will push down on the hitch ball, which in turn pushes down on an internal hydraulic piston that sits on a bed of oil. When the piston drops into the oil, the pressure reading is sent out to the scale.
Easily Adjusts to Fit Your Setup
Adjusting and setting up the Weigh Safe ball mount to work with your specific trailer is easy. First, unlock and pull out the dual pins and remove the platform from the shank. Next, pull out the hitch ball retaining pin from the back of the platform and insert either the 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball. A 1-7/8" hitch ball (WSB-L - sold separately) is also available. Then reinsert the retaining pin to secure the ball to the platform. Replace the platform and slide it along the shank to the desired height. Insert the dual pins and use one of the included keys to lock the pins in place.
The Weigh Safe ball mount can be used in either the drop or rise position to best suit your application.
Superior Aluminum and Stainless Steel Construction
From the first moment that you lay eyes on the Weigh Safe ball mount you'll see that you're getting a superior, well-made product. The Weigh Safe's shank and ball mount platform are made entirely of 6061 T6 billet aluminum, which is the same material that is used to build aircraft components, automobile frames, and freight liners. This type of aluminum is known for having superior strength while maintaining its light weight, which makes it highly desirable over hollow steel components. 6061 T6 aluminum is also rustproof, which means the Weigh Safe hitch will maintain its clean, shiny, and impressive appearance for years to come. And the hitch balls are made of solid stainless steel, offering far greater protection against rust and corrosion than other steel hitch balls that are only painted or plated on the surface.
The Weigh Safe ball mount meets VESC V-5 regulations and is SAE J684 certified. These regulatory bodies - the Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission and the Society for Automotive Engineers - create standards for the design, construction, and performance of automotive and towing accessories. Weigh Safe has had this ball mount thoroughly tested in simulation to ensure that it complies with these standards. The result is a strong, safe, sturdy product that is built to last.

I love this hitch! It is fully adjustable for use on either of my vehicles. I did make the mistake of ordering the 10" drop (thinking it would work on the most amount of different sized trucks) when I should have only ordered the 8" drop. I found out it was too long coming into a driveway when the bottom of the hitch drug across the curb. I had it shortened 2" and now no dragging. Used it for the first time with a 24' cargo trailer and could read the tongue weight on the scale. Perfect for balancing the load in the trailer and not overloading the hitch. It's a good looking hitch with excellent machining, and since it's made out of aluminum, it is not so heavy to be able to remove it easily. I would highly recommend this hitch to anyone with multiple tow vehicles. 581964

- Height of Shank on the WeighSafe Ball Mount part # WS10-2If you had the WeighSafe Ball Mount part # WS10-2 installed in the rise position it would measure 14 inches from the top of the hitch opening to the very top of the shank of the ball mount. Basically you would need to measure from the top of your hitch opening to your tailgate when folded down. If that dimension is more than 14 inches you wouldn't have to worry.

- Weigh Safe Drop Ball Mount Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6 inch LiftFor as much of a lift as you have and the height of your truck tires considered I would recommend going with the 10 inch drop Weigh Safe ball mount # WS10-2. That being said it really depends on the height of your trailer hitch tube from the ground to the top of it compared to the height of the coupler lip on the trailer you plan to tow. The difference between those two numbers is the amount of drop you'd need.

This figure also includes the weight of any cargo you to check out as well. You will want the...

A couple options are the Curt # C45090 with 8 inches of drop and the Curt # C45112 with 10-1/4 inches of drop. Another option since you're not positive exactly how your trailer is going to sit when hooked up is to go with an adjustable ball mount. The Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mount # WS10-2 will give you up to 10 inches of drop so you have the ability to choose the best height for your trailer. This also has a built...

You will actually just need to get a shank like the Fastway e2 # FA92-02-4315 to connect the Weight Distribution System if you have a 2 inch hitch receiver. Since the Fastway e2 # FA90-00-1033 has a built-in ball mount, the Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mount # WS10-2 will not fit with it. If you are needing a 2 inch Hitch Ball, I recommend using the Curt # A-90.

You will have this clearance with either the Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mount w/ Built-In Scale - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 11" Rise - 12.5K # WS10-2 or the 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount w/ Stainless Steel Balls - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop, 11" Rise - 12.5K # LTB10-2.

There is not a single hitch ball mount without the scale in this capacity range with an adjustable 10 inch drop and 2 inch shank, but the scale is a really nice feature to ensure you are towing that large a load properly.

It will provide more vertical adjustment than the 6 inch model but won't hang down quite as low as the 10.
