Video Transcript for etrailer Ball Mounts - Fixed Ball Mount - EBMK2EL Review
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. .

Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
Ball mount kit arrived quickly (within a few days) upon placing order online. Parts were shipped loose in box and bottom flap on box was open when received. Fortunately, all the parts were still in box and in good condition. Kit includes ball mount hardware I need to pull trailers with different hitch heights.

Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
I've had my hitch for a year now and have been very happy with it. It is strong and easy to use. Being a young woman it was a little intimidating for me to tow a trailer, but I feel confident in the product and haven't had any issues with it.

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.

Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
High quality fabrication,but the fitment on the hitch was a little loose. I expect this to make some noise when stopping and starting with your trailer. I'm a rookie but this appears obvious to me. Not sure if other products will fit better to avoid that.
Comments
Some ball mounts are looser than others. You can try an anti-rattle device like item # 63232
Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span
$40.99 to keep the ball mount from being too noisy.

Good value and having the 2 options saved us because the higher rise ball mount did not work with the accessory bike rack and I was able to go with the lower rise instead.

Review from a similar e Ball Mount Kit in Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
The 2in tube is lighter than a solid bar, but not as strong. I am planning to use it on a lighter vehicle so this is fine for me. But if you are intending to use it for a more stressful application it might not be adequate for your application.

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.

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.

exactly as advertised. Prompt shipping, nice case to carry everything. If you would like to be prepared for drop or rise hitches as well as different sizes depending on what you're towing, this is what you need.
by: Tom07/27/2021
Review 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.)

- Is Extended Hitch Adapter For 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 Towing 32 Ft Jayco TrailerUsing a hitch extender will reduce the towing capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. An extended ball mount kit we offer like part # EBMK2EL, has a towing weight capacity of 6,000 lbs. We do not have an extended ball mount that would work for your 2014 Dodge 2500 and your 32 ft Jayco Trailer.

You mentioned that your current shank measured 10-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. Well, the ball mount kit # EBMK2EL is super extra long, measuring 16"! Sixteen! This kit also comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" hitch ball, pin and clip, as well as storage bag for your convenience.

The etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit - Super Extra-Long - 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop - 6,000 lbs # EBMK2EL extends 16" from the hitch pin hole, which is more than enough for you to lower your Ram 3500's tail gate with a trailer connected.

As for Curt trailer hitch # 13044, it fits the 2002 to 2007 Jeep Liberty. Whomever buys will also need some accessories if they plan to tow. You can point them right to us! I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2EL. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, a pin and clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring use # 118524. I have linked instructions and videos for the hitch and wiring.

The tongue weight capacity of that hitch is 500 lbs, so if you use a hitch extension it will be reduced to 250 lbs. So you will not want to use a hitch extension when towing a trailer. For towing you could use a extended ball mount like the Ball Mount Kit, # EBMK2EL. This will extend the hitch ball 11-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole and you will not lose the weight...

This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver that uses existing holes in the Volvo's frame for a no-drill installation. This is a hidden design meaning that only the receiver is visible once installed. If you intend to use for towing and not just a bike rack or other accessories, I suggest the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118773. This is a plug-and-play installation so no need to cut and splice...

Just make sure your tow bar is long enough so you won't have any issues. From the back of the Traveler XCS to the furthest point is 20" far and 17-3/8" high. You can use those measurements to check if there's enough clearance between the bike rack and the towed vehicle. As for mounting it behind your Wrangler, you would first need a ball mount shank....

This extra-long ball mount extends the ball 16" from the hitch pin hole so as long as that is the clearance you're looking for you're good to go.

The comparable trailer hitch from Draw-Tite for your 2005 model is # 75128. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing a typical installation for you to view.

Also, if you go with a hitch you will be able to use other accessories in it after the move such as bike racks or cargo carriers. Check the Jeep owners manual for its towing capacities before towing. Curt trailer hitch # 13044 is the most popular option for your Liberty. I have included a link to a video showing installation...

I recommend this product over both other options (all are shown on the linked page) because we know Tekonsha products to be very reliable...
