For the Demco Trailer Coupler - Flat Plate Mount # DM99VR, I recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-318. This lock comes with a universal design and includes 2 keys. view full answer...
No, I am sorry Emmanuel we do not. Our highest capacity coupler is the 21,000 lbs Demco Trailer Coupler - Flat Plate Mount - eZ-Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball - item # DM69FR. It's bolt hole spacing is 4-1/2" on center. view full answer...
Ideally, you want the coupler sitting flat in direct contact with the top of the trailer tongue. If the gap between the bottom inside of the coupler and the trailer tongue is pretty minimal, say 1/16 of an inch or less, having it the way it is would most likely not cause a problem, but I would recommend you go ahead and fix it.
This can be done in two ways. You can remove the coupler, cut about 1 to 1-1/2 inches off the end of the trailer tongue so you have fresh steel to work with and... view full answer...
I checked with Demco and the handle on the Demco Trailer Coupler - Flat Plate Mount - eZ-Latch # DM15080-97 is made of a nylon composite. That is a fancy way of saying it is made of plastic although this is a highly durable plastic. The composite is engineered specifically for strength and will work in temperatures that range from -20 degrees to 200 degrees fahrenheit so the handle is extremely durable and able to withstand rugged use and conditions.

Hey Steve, thanks for the measurements. I'm sorry but we do not have a flat mount coupler with 5-1/2" spaced mounting holes.
All of our options are going to be similar to the Demco Trailer Coupler item # DM15080-97 you were looking at. This one has a 4-1/2" vertically and horizontally spaced mounting holes.

The Demco Trailer Coupler - Flat Plate Mount - eZ-Latch - Primed - 2" Ball - 10,000 lbs # DM15080-97 doesn't come with recommended hardware. My recommendation is to use the Curt Bolt Kit for Pintle Hooks and Lunette Rings # C48330 which are 1/2 inch by 2 inches. view full answer...
Your plan could definitely work but what I would do is weld on a channel, such as # DM59601, and using a coupler such as # DM12688-95 for a 2 inch ball or # DM07678-95 for a 2-5/16 inch ball. And of course, some hardware, # PS024202, to mount the coupler to the channel. This type of set up was designed to take off/move the coupler more so than a flat mount.
Like you said there is a lot of welding that will need to be done especially to reach the capacity needed. It sounds like you have... view full answer...
The Demco Trailer Coupler - Flat Plate Mount - eZ-Latch - Black - 2-5/16" Ball - 21,000 lbs # DM12141-81 is not designed to use u-bolts for installation. We do not have any u-bolts that even could work for this application. The bolt holes are 4-1/2 inches on center and 5/8 inches diameter. I recommend using the Curt Bolt Kit for Pintle Hooks and Lunette Rings # C48330 for this application. view full answer...
Hey Mark,
I'm assuming you're wanting a coupler lock for your trailer? If so, I recommend going with either the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock - Flat Lip 1-7/8" and 2" Ball Couplers # e98897 or the # e98895 if you have a 2-5/16" coupler. This aluminum body coupler locks mount in place of a ball so that no one can take off with your trailer. You will want to check your coupler first to make sure it has a flat bottom so that the locks can fit. If not, let me know and I can look for an alternative. view full answer...
Based on the lip on the Curt Channel-Mount Coupler - Squeeze Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 15,000 lbs # C25328 you will be unable to use the # e98895. The # e87ZR might fit, but I would question how secure it is once again based on the lip on that coupler.
Instead, I would recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-316. This is a universal lock that will secure over the top of the coupler and uses a bolt-blocked locking system to prevent... view full answer...
On the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13203-95 the three top row mounting holes' centers are 1-inch from the top flat surface of the coupler. I went to our warehouse and took this measurement to confirm. This and other dimensions are shown on the linked photo. view full answer...
Your new 2018 Jayco trailer has a bottom mount or underslung coupler. For a lock that will work well, I recommend the Atwood AMPlock Underslung Coupler Lock # AT89006. This cast iron lock is designed specifically for underslung couplers and will help deter theft by blocking the ball socket and the surrounding flat lip. It features a rotating-disc-tumbler lock that provides maximum security with nearly a million possible key codes. It will fit flat-lipped couplers for 2-5/16 inch balls with... view full answer...
The Demco Flat Plate Trailer Coupler # DM12653-97 measures 9-1/2-inches from the back of its 6-1/2 x 6-1/2-inch mounting plate to the forward end of the coupler, as shown in the photo I prepared for you. Installation of this bolt-on coupler requires 3/4-inch diameter grade 5 hardware in order for it to meet its rated 21K capacity. It is not recommended to use any other size or grade of hardware. I confirmed this with my tech contact at Demco. view full answer...
When installing the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head, part # BDGN240200, you will place the flat side toward the trailer and the handle should be on the driver side.
The handle on the driver side makes it easier for the driver to operate instead of making someone have to go all the around the truck or trailer to use the handle. view full answer...

I spoke with my contact at Buyers Products and they informed me that the the bolts that mount the Buyers Products Cast Trailer Coupler part # 3370091558 should be torqued to 225 ft lbs. The hardware should also be Grade 8. You may already have a torque wrench but if not our part # PT79FR is rated for up to 250 ft lbs and would work great to install this coupler. view full answer...
The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 has a 2" ball coupler. It also requires a 4-way flat connector on your tow vehicle to operate the tail lights. The coupler has a height of 14" so you will need to ensure your ball mount has the correct amount of drop to tow level. If you measure the height to the inside of your receiver I can help you find the correct parts.
The Draw-Tite Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball # DT49MR has a 2" drop and would fit with a 16" receiver height. view full answer...
The Bulldog Trailer Coupler, # BDA256C0317, is made to use with the Bulldog 3-Position Adjustable Channel Bracket, # BDAC3000300. This bracket has a inside width of 3 inches. Keep in mind that manufacturing tolerances allow for this bracket to be slightly wider or narrower.
The only coupler I have with 25,000 lbs capacity is the flat mount Bulldog Cast Head Coupler, # BD4425000317.
The highest rated height adjustable channel coupler I have is the Demco model # DM07678-95 rated for 20,000... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Redline about the Gooseneck Coupler Head, part # 291300. They said the mounting orientation of the pin should not make any difference when installed. My recommendation would be to mount it so that the pin is the easiest to access for you. view full answer...
