Dial in the right drop or rise to keep your trailer level, whether you tow a boat, utility trailer, or a car hauler. Choose fixed mounts for simple strength, or go adjustable with multi-ball convenience for quick height and ball size changes. Options include aluminum to cut weight or steel for a heavy-duty feel, long shanks for tailgate or MultiPro clearance, anti-rattle setups, stowable heads, built-in scales, and fits for 2", 2.5", and 3" receivers.
Yes, lock kits are available to secure the entire mount, the platform, and the hitch balls. Some setups lock in solid with zero slop and no rattling. For Weigh Safe, the hitch pin lock uses a pin with a shear strength capacity of 45,000lbs. Verify your lock set covers the receiver, platform positions, and ball attachment points.
Measure the hitch receiver height and the trailer coupler height, then match the difference with a drop or rise. Example: a 13" receiver and 21" coupler needed significant drop to level. Confirm your tongue/ball height target; a 12" recommendation led to a 13.5" result with a 6" drop that was acceptable. Recheck after loading since heights can change with cargo.
Choose aluminum for lighter weight and a polished look; pair with a chrome hitch ball to help avoid the paint-wear-and-rust you've seen. Choose a solid steel style if you want a simple "massive piece of metal" with fewer failure points. If using an anti-rattle bracket, check that it fits when the pin is in the first hole; some brackets tend to bend over time.
Yes, some mounts are designed to clear the GM MultiPro Tailgate and let you keep features usable. Longer shanks can help open a tailgate with the trailer hooked up, even with tight clearance like about 1/2 inch. If a standard mount hits, plan to remove it to drop the tailgate or choose a model specifically shaped for MultiPro clearance.
