Most Popular Rise - 5 Inch for 2008 Chevrolet Silverado

Used it for the first time today. Was very easy to get ball height adjusted for tag-a-long 2 horse trailer. The rubber no-rattle bumper pad works as advertised. This is a more substantial piece of equipment than it might appear in the pictures - rated just above the capacity for my 1/2 ton pickup. Appears well made with good even welds. I'm pleased with the purchase and etrailer shipping was very fast.

Package arrived within 2 days of ordering. The receiver, 3 pins, and the two balls were with package as ordered. Haven't put it to use yet but seems to be tough and very durable. Using the hitch for a 2005 Chevrolet 2500 gas, hitch has plenty of drop and rise for stock suspension. So far very pleased with this item from etrailer and with other items I have purchased in the past.

I dont have a question, but I do have some input that I discovered after I ordered the BandW Tow and Stow hitch. My original concern was that the hitchs ball head swing arm as BandW calls it could be removed from the shank. There is a review from another customer that said the hitchs ball head could not be removed, so I ordered it based off of their observation. I saw the experts answer here: http://www.etrailer.com/question-112214.html, and it also eased some of my fears about the hitch being stolen. Once I received the hitch I could tell that theft is not a concern. In the pamphlet that accompanied the hitch there is an advertisement for a Receiver Lock, which as we know, will lock the shank of the hitch to the receiver. However, it goes on to say that as long as the pin is in the first shank hole when the hitch is locked, the swing arm cannot be removed. This is because there is a channel on the back of the hitch that allows the swing arm to be removed is blocked when the hitch is flush with the receiver hitch see the attached picture. To summarize, you dont have to worry about the swing arm ball head being removed. A simple receiver lock will keep the hitch safe.

Very strong and durable hitch. Elevation and dropping is very convenient. 2 big issues with his hitch. 1) does not have an option to buy a 1 7/8 ball. 2) even with a pin lock on the hitch, the balls can still be stolen with its design. If the balls are stolen they can not be easily replaced or cheaply. Overall, does the job, but once it is stolen, I’ll be buying something better theft protection.

Fast shipping from etrailer. Very heavy duty unit and perfect for my 2020 Silverado 2500HD. I needed an adjustable drop hitch and this unit works perfectly between different trailers that I tow.

20 lbs of receiver hitch probably not going to have a problem with it.

The forged trailer ball mount was heavy duty good. It is very solid and wont worry about any overload issues with this. Thanks

well over the hitch is very well made. The hitch itself fit great all holes lined up fine.The only problem the flat round washers were to small for the bolts supplied and you should supply washers for the bracket that mounts under the bumper because the holes on the hitch are pretty big , its possible for the lock washer to seat crooked. A trip to the hardware store fixed the issues. Overall were very happy with the hitch.

Works great and very durable. I have a Silverado with a 6 inch lift on 35's and the 6 inch drop works perfect for my 28 foot boat on a triple axle extreme trailer and the 10 inch drop works perfectly for my dads double axle trailer. I had the aluminum 10 inch adjustable hitch if you guys are familiar with that and it works great but I bought The rock tamers mudflap system and the neck that goes into the receiver is too short. I had to buy new hitches for the rock tamers mudflaps system and I knew my drop size already and these ones are working perfectly.
