Hey Scott, thanks for reaching out! I don't have the exact height of that bracket, but the bolt from the Equal-i-zer #EQ64FR that sits on top of the trailer frame is 5/8" in and of itself so you're looking at around 1-1/4" at the…
None of the options for the prep package are specifically designed to add height. Depending on the ball you have now you might be able to get a little more height out of the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit #BWGNXA2061. The installed height of this…
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…

If you were to use the 4 inch offset ball #BWGNXA4085 the pin weight on the ball will not be changed. What will change is where the weight is carried on the truck. Using the offset ball will put more weight 4 inches back from the center of the…
You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
Hello David, thanks for reaching out. The Curt Offset Ball #C68ZV will fit the 2024 GMC 2500, but it will only work on the 8' bed models. If you have the short bed, an additional piece, Curt part #60669 is required. The problem is this part will…
Hey Rick, so we had a customer send us a picture (see attached) where they took that measurement for us and basically from the top of the hitch ball down to the bottom of the shoulder is 7 inches. This is essentially another way of measuring how tall…
With a 2022 F350 short bed, hitting the top of the bed rails should not be an issue with most campers. Turning clearance however, will certainly be a factor. That is one advantage of the Andersen Ultimate hitch #AM3200, as it provides a 9"…

Secure Your Connection with the Right Hitch Ball
Whether you're hauling a lightweight utility trailer or a heavy-duty camper, a dependable hitch ball is the key to safe and stable towing.
Yes, if the hitch ball shank is too short and the ball mount isn’t secured properly, it may cause play and lead to sway.
Always refer to the manufacturer’s torque specifications, but most 2" hitch balls require around 250 ft-lbs of torque, while 2-5/16" balls need 450 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to ensure the ball is properly secured without overtightening.
Match the hitch ball size to your trailer coupler, ensure the shank diameter fits your ball mount, and choose a weight rating that meets or exceeds your trailer’s GTW (Gross Trailer Weight).
If the hitch ball is too small, the trailer coupler may not sit securely, which could lead to it coming loose while towing. If the ball is too large, the coupler won’t latch properly, making it difficult to connect the trailer. To ensure a safe and stable towing experience, always use a hitch ball that matches your trailer’s coupler size and double-check the connection before hitting the road.
