Now you can easily use your hitch-mounted accessories without having to take off your ball mount! This hitch features a robust, powder coated steel double-sided tow ball and a built-in 2" receiver for your bike rack or cargo carrier.

Specs:
Note: The built-in receiver on this hitch is for accessories only. Do not use the receiver to tow a trailer or to perform recovery operations.
The 180 Pro has receiver capabilities right on the front, opening up a world of accessory options. Just pop out the rubber stopper and you are ready to use your bike rack, cargo carrier, or another hitch mounted accessory.
Towing trailers with different coupler sizes just got easier thanks to the 180 Pro Hitch 2-ball mount. This ball mount features powder coated carbon steel 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls on opposite ends of the ball mount platform. Switching between balls is fast and easy - pull out the dual pins and remove the platform from the shank and simply flip over the platform so that either the 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball is on top. Slide it back up along the shank to the desired height and reinsert the dual pins, hitch up, and go! Because both balls are contained on the platform, you won't have to keep track of separate balls that must be completely removed and installed each time you need to switch trailers.
This ball mount's convenient stowable design keeps the ball mount platform out of your way when you're not towing. To stow the ball mount platform, simply pull out the dual pins and remove the platform from the shank. Place the ball mount platform on the backside of the shank facing your vehicle. Reinsert the dual pins to attach the platform to the shank. The 180 Pro Hitch can be used in either the drop or rise position to best suit your application.

Hello neighbors. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Weigh Safe Steel 180 Pro drop hitch with a two-inch shank, and a max drop of eight inches, or a max rise of nine inches. Now folks, you're gonna get two balls with this two-inch shank. You're gonna get a 2 5/16 inch that's rated at 22,000 pounds max capacity, or the two-inch ball rated at 10,000 pounds max capacity. Now the rise or the drop will go up or down in one-inch increments.
And as you know, a ball mile with the included hitch balls lets you hook up your trailer to the tow vehicle with ease. The two-inch shank receiver slides into that two-inch hitch, and the ball provides that connection point for towing your trailer. Now the fact that it's adjustable and dual ball means you can load different trailers, tow different trailers, rather, with different heights using the same vehicle. And the fact you can swap the ball over lets you carry different size coupler options that are out there as well. So maybe you're borrowing a trailer, rent one, et cetera, you got lots of options and combinations here to work with pretty much everything out there.
Now this is all hardened steel with a powder coat carbon steel construction, black powder coat, rather. Now some quick dimensions from the back center hitch pole, hole to the center of the ball is 9 1/8 inches. To the closest hitch pin hole to the ball in the center is eight inches. From the back here to the center hole, I got 2 3/8 inches. And from the back here to the X of the center hole of this one, I got 3 1/2 inches.
Now this does not come with a hitch pin or a clip or lock for the hitch part itself. You would've to purchase that separately if you don't already have one. This is a 5/8 inch hitch pin hole. Now you do get an included lock here. It's got a rubber cover over it, and this is all black to match other than the lock core itself.
You get two sets of tubular keys that makes it harder to lock pick or anything. Simply unlock, pull the steel pins out. Now this is under some weight, so it may be a little tight on me. There we go. Now let's say we went to swap from the 2 5/16 to the two-inch. Well, I could simply take this off, swap the ball 180, slide that back down, and now, of course, since I've swapped it over, the lock is on my side facing me, which is not a big deal at all. Simply put the key in, lock it, put my rubber cover back on the lock, and I'm good to go. Now I can tow the two-inch ball. So again, very elegant. That powder coat finish is really nice looking, looks very, very durable. They did a great job. Also up here, you got a front rubber cover that simply pops out. As you can see, there's a hitch pin here. This is about four inches deep inside. So if you have an accessory, maybe a bike rack or something small, you could put it in here, or maybe even just like a hitch cover. Maybe you have like your favorite sports team emblem or something like that. You could pop that in there. And that's a two-inch by two-inch that that would fit. So that is not to be used for towing. It is strictly for light accessories only. This is V5 and J684 certified. And again, this is gonna be the Weigh Safe Steel 180 Pro drop hitch for the two-inch shank. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching. And as always, stay safe while you're towing.
