Today were going to review part number EBMK2EL, this is the Etrailer.com Super Extra Long Ball Mount Kit for 2-inch hitch receivers. This kit will include the one extra long ball mount, it will include a pin and a clip; it will include Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball System that comes with a 1 7/8-inch hitch head and a 2-inch hitch ball head and also the Etrailer.com storage bag.This kit will be nice to use when youre going to be towing multiple trailers that would have different size couplers and also if you need to extend the hitch ball out away from the back of the tow vehicle.Im first going to go over this extra long ball mount. This is part number 80232. This ball mount will have a 2-inch drop or a 3 -inch rise depending on how you use it; and basically that is measured byright now it is in the drop position so a 2-inch drop would be measured from the top of this shank to the top of where the ball is seated. So that distance will be 2 inches or 2-inch drop. Now if you turn it over and insert it in your receiver this way, thatll give the ball in a rise position so you measure from the top of the shank to where the ball is seated here.
So that distance would be -inch rise. Now this ball mount does have a gross towing weight capacity of 6,000 and a tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds. And this is considered is a super extra long ball mount. So the measurement from the center of the hitch pinhole here to the center of where the ball would be inserted into your ball mount is going to be 16 inches. So, basically just to give you an idea, from the center there to there would be 16 inches.
So that would extend your hitch ball out 16 inches from the hitch pinhole.Now the other part included in here is the pin and clip part number PC3. This is a 5/8-inch diameter pin and the clip and that used to insert when your ball mount is inserted into your hitch receiver. The pin and clip would go in and attach it to hold into the hitch.Our next item is the converti-ball interchangeable ball system part number 901B. This comes with a shank and then two interchangeable hitch balls. One is 1 7/8-inch just stamped on the top there and other is 2-inch hitch ball.
This shank and the ball put on it will have a gross towing weight capacity of 10,000 pounds. Now this does come with a washer and a nut that is used to install the shank to the ball mount. The nut size on this is 1 inches. And it also comes with a cotter pin which when this installed and tightened down, theres a hole in the shank. You slide the cotter pin through, spread it and that would keep the nut from reversing off the shank.
I do want to give you a few dimensions on this shank; the diameter and the length. The diameter on this shank will be 1 inch. The length which is from here to here of this shank would be 2 inches. And just to show you how the balls will be installed onto the shank, theres a hole in the shank and basically theres an integrated pin here. If you go to the side that has a dimple on it, you just push that, pull the pin all the way out and then just line it up with the hole on the shank, push it all the way through until its flush and you have a 1 7/8-inch hitch ball. To remove it, just push the side with the dimple, pull it all the way out, remove it. If you need to go to the bigger hitch head, again, find the side with the dimple, pull it all the way out, put it in all the way through and in a few seconds youve changed from a 1 7/8-inch to a 2-inch hitch ball. Another nice feature on this is the integrated pin will have a rubber ring on this end and also on the other end so when it is completely closed it will seal both sides to keep any dirt or foreign material from getting inside the bitch ball head.The remaining product will be the Etrailer.com storage bag part number ETBMB. This is a durable bag. It will work great not only carrying ball mounts but it will carry other towing equipment like tie down straps, pins, clips, locks. A strong handle makes it easy to carry; has a very large zipper opening, gives full access to the bag. This bag is made of a durable nylon material which will provide many years of use. It has a no-hassle zipper closure, handle for transportation and let me give you a few dimensions on this bag. The overall length is 16 inches, height is 5 inches and the width is 4 inches wide. Now on this kit, because it does include the extra long ball mount, this ball mount will be too long to fit in the bag. Everything else will be able to fit in there but this is one of the few kits where the ball mount is too long to actually fit in the bag. But that should do it for our review of part number EBMK2EL. .

2" Drop, Super Extra-Long Ball Mount KitVery high quality and just what I needed to allow tailgate to be opened when my trailer is hooked up.
High quality products at a great price! Easy to follow instructions and an easy install. Great experience!
Not sure why they sent the bag. It's not big enough for the extra-long ball mount.
Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Thank you etrailer for the quality products I received early last year. We needed a trailer hitch to install on our Subaru Forester for our move from Gig Harbor, WA to Spokane. We received the hitch hardware including the tow bar and electrical harness. The entire process took 4 hours. The installation process went off without a hitch (bun intended) using detailed videos I found online. Thank you etrailer.

This product offers a few options for hitch height and towing. I added a 2 5/16 ball to the combination.
Robert - 12/20/2021Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The hitches and balls are great. They haven't rusted and they do what they're supposed to do. Plus, having both mounts allowed me to figure out which height was best to go with my receiver/trailer setup. Now, would I get it again? No. Why? Because having the two different drops/rises and ball sizes doesn't matter once you attach them with the cut washer. At that point, they are almost permanently attached, so unless you have 2 trailers that are both different tongue heights and have different ball sizes, it doesn't really matter. (Though I guess in a pinch, one could get you close enough to handle another trailer.)

The kit arrived ahead of schedule. All of the items in this kit are heavy duty and are of great quality. I pull several different trailer and these ball hitches work for most of them. I wish there was another kit with different height adjustments to add to what I have now in order for all trailers that I pull would be level be level.

I haven’t used the trailer ball and hitch kit yet but the kit is made solidly.
Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I installed the draw tite hitch onto my brand new 2018 Subaru outback. I'm 68 years old, not as strong as I was, but proud to say I did the job all by myself in about 4 hours. Here are some tips you may find useful. Watch the video-it’s pretty good. I had difficulty getting the exhaust system down and worried about getting it up again from the moment I got it down...read on-help will follow. I bought a stepup drill bit which worked great for drilling the hole in the chasis. I clamped the hitch onto a floor jack, then rolled it and raised it into position. Used metal shears to easily cut out the heat shield as per the video. Your inclination will be the screw the fishing tool provided all the way up the carriage bolt. That won’t work; just screw it on to the tip of the bolt. I couln’t get the exhaust hangars in place even after lubricating them with wd-40. I dropped the rubber hangars into undiluted liquid car wash soap which made them much more slippery than the wd-40. After that the rubber hangars slipped into place pretty easily-that’s my best tip. Finding the electric connection plug for the wiring harness was almost as hard as installing the hitch. I was very happy with how the job came out. Good luck.

I must say I like having my etrailer equipment installation was easy. But I really wish I had installed the factory hitch. Only because the provisions for mounting the wire harness is much much better. etrailer IS GREAT WITH ALL THAT THEY DO

Perfect fit. Love the 2 different ball & hitch. No need to take apart if I need the smaller one. Love the storage bag to keep it all together. Ps Snow chains are a perfect fit as well.

Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The customer service was polite and knowledgeable in their recommendations. The package delivered complete and without incident and install was a breeze. the only reason for the four stars instead of five is for the competitiveness of their pricing.
Adolfo - 11/01/2018Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
So far so good. Hitch appears to be well built and was shipped complete. The instructions are printed so small you need a magnifying glass to read them and photos on the instructions are poor -at best. That said - the video of the installation is excellent and a must review prior to installation.

Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Thank you for the informative video instructions as well as helpful / honest reviews to research prior to making the purchase. I do not have anything to add that has not been covered in the reviews. Here is a recap of my experience that has been consistent with others. 1. Box was received with the driver side of the hitch pushed out. Only minor scratches which you can not see when installed and it did not impact the installation. Wrapping each end would probably be a good idea as stated in other reviews. 2. Removing 14 years of rust was the hardest part of the install (from the passenger side holes). Total time was approximately 1 hour as others have experienced. I used the bolts from the factory tie hook to work out the rust using 1/2" round wire brush attached to a cordless drill along with a full can of WD-40. 3. Installation of the hitch took about 30 minutes with assistance of a foot stool. 4. Plug-n-play electrical connector took about 10 minutes after watching the video. 5. Perfect fitment, fast delivery, easy website ordering experience and follow-up status notifications, and I can not be more pleased with the cost being under $200 for a DIY project. I required this setup to tow a ~1,000 lb motorcycle trailer with a ~1,000 lb motorcycle next week and my Honda has a 3,500 lb towing capacity. Thank you etrailer.com!

Works as advertised, although your trailer will rattle around a bit if you use the included hitch pins. Spend the extra money to get a locking J-pin to eliminate rattle.
Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Could not have been easier. I was able to find what I needed by looking at just the items for my vehicle. Item arrived days ahead of schedule. Items were well packed. Tongues appears to be well constructed, but they were made in China. Sturdy pins and a handy bag with enough room for your wrench besides. Very happy with my purchase and good to do business with a local company, too.
Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I bought it a years ago and it has been a great hitch ball set. Easy on and off - I use a locking pin instead of the provided one, just for security - but I've had no issues. No rust, no deep scratches. I love the provided bag too. I keep all my towing gear in it, and toss it in the cargo well. Great product!
Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I am a frequent etrailer customer, the variety and availability of quality components and excellent service is what keeps me coming back. When trailering I strive to be as safe as possible, which is why I chose this heavy duty ball mount to tow my 10,000# car hauler trailer. With this very robust piece, I can be assured that the connection between my truck and trailer is secure.
Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Great product! Makes it much easier to switch ball size with 2 different trailers, one needs 1 7/8 ball and the other a 2" ball. solved the problem of needing to ball sizes. Also nice bag to keep and carry the draw bars in.

A fine package. The zippered pouch/bag is very useful, and the hitch does exactly what hitches are supposed to do.
