The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Probably not unless you want to cut that round hole into a 2-1/4" square. The Square A-Frame Jack w/ Footplate item #e74VV is designed for a-frame trailer's that have a square cut out not the standard 2-1/4" circular cut out which I am…
Hi Thomas! The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball on the #BW77BR is 13-5/8". This is designed to fit a 2-1/2" receiver with a 10k rating for the 2" and 21k rating for the 2-5/16" ball. What…
The B&W Tow and Stow ball mount #BWTS10049B will have some great features. You can stow the mounting platform that has the 3 hitch balls (1-7/8, 2, and 2-5/16 inch) underneath your vehicle. This is nice because you will eliminate the possibility…
The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…
Hey Chris, we do have more hitches now for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek than what we had when we made the video you referenced but even with that in mind I would recommend the B and W part #BW32PR because it's mostly hidden and because it has the…
Hey Rob, I’d be wondering the same thing if I came across a ball mount made out of aluminum like the #BPH77MR while researching. Totally fair question. That said, I haven’t seen any noticeable difference in slop or wear compared to their steel…
Hey Jason! I'm guessing you have the 12" long shank right now which is the standard. For a longer shank that fits a 2-1/2" receiver you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 2-1/2" Hitch - 16" Long - 7" Rise,…
Great questions I am glad you asked them. I have solutions for them. You will need the Demco SBS Second Vehicle Kit for Air Force One Supplemental Braking System #SM99209 and the Demco SBS Air Force One Coiled Air Jumper Kit for 2019 to Present…
Thanks for reaching out Mike! I spoke to Weigh Safe and only their Cerakote aluminum ball mounts are made in the USA. All other steel and aluminum ball mounts, including the steel 180 PRO models, are manufactured overseas. If you wanted an American…
This is a great question that there isn't exactly a great answer for. Hitch extenders not only put the weight further away from the hitch which would increase the leverage on the hitch, but they also add movement to the assembly which will…
In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!
Lock N Roll drop hitches bring strong, secure articulation that shines on rough roads and off-road trailers. The drop helps you handle the height difference between your hitch and trailer for a level, confident tow, and some setups can be used in rise or drop to suit your rig. Double-check pin lengths and receiver clearance, especially if you run a bumper or spare close by.
Measure the height difference between your vehicle's receiver and your trailer coupler, then match the needed rise/drop. The rise/drop is measured from the center of the 2" receiver. If you're between sizes, consider load squat and cargo. Double-check clearances like spare tires or bumpers when in rise or drop positions.
Use locks sized for both the receiver and the Lock N Roll coupler points. Check for a 5/8" diameter pin with about 2-5/8" usable span at the 2" receiver, and around a 1/2" diameter pin with about 4-1/8" usable span where the coupler secures. Verify these spans against your specific components to ensure the lock fully engages and secures.
Test the articulation by hand and lubricate the grease fittings on the moving parts. New units can feel stiff; cycling and use can help them loosen up. If a hitch pin doesn't pass through due to thick paint, carefully clean or ream the hole. Confirm the coupler can rotate to the needed position; tools may help initial adjustments.
It delivers strong, secure articulation for uneven terrain. The design helps reduce banging and potential binding compared to pintle/lunette and ball setups. It's described as super durable and solidly built, which inspires confidence on rough roads and trails. Verify it matches your trailer's Lock N Roll coupler style and your vehicle's receiver size before buying.
