Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today, we're reviewing Part Number 80232 from Hidden Hitch. This is a Class 3 Ball Mount with a 3-1/4 inch rise or a 2-inch drop and a super extra long shank. The towing capacity rating is 6,000 pounds and the tongue weight is rated at 600 pounds. As you can see the shank is hollow and it is cut at an angle. It makes it a little easier for you to slide this into your receiver. This uses a ball with a 1-inch shank diameter.
There is a 3-1/4 inch rise from the top of the shank to the top of the ball mount platform and a 2-inch drop from the top of the shank to the ball mount platform. Let's see how this measures up, from the center of the hitch pinhole, which is here, to the beginning of the ball platform is 11 inches and it is 16 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the center of the ball hole. This will accommodate Class 3, that's 2 by 2 inch ball mount accessories. And that's it for Part Number 80232, the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount Class 3 with a 3/4 inch rise and a 2-inch drop.

A quality insert. I have had trouble finding an insert with the rise and drop plus the length of this insert. The weld is very good. I needed the extra length this insert provides because I have steps on the front of my boat trailer to allow me to get into the boat. A regular length inner did not provide the clearance needed when making a slightly tight turn. The bottom step would hit the truck bumper and cause damage that resulted in $1300.00 repair. The service ETrailer provided was outstanding. I placed the order on their web page late in the day . Shortly I received a reply they would be filling the order. The next morning I received a phone call telling an additional item I wanted was back ordered to them. Asked if it was okay to delay shipment until it came in. I agreed to that. They kept me informed to the status and that they were still keeping track of my order. When they were informed of an additional delay on getting me the item they informed me of the additional delay. I asked them to cancel the item and to ship the remaining items. They said they would and I got the shipment the next day. Plus I asked them to let me know when the back order item would be available so I could order it. They said they would. Excellent customer service and quality product a great combination. 236425
Still working great. ??????

Just the solution I was looking for! My Jeep's spare tire hits the utility trailer's hitch latch, preventing me from opening the tailgate. I could flip the old drawbar over so the hitch is lower, but then the trailer would not be level while on the hitch. (maybe just aesthetics, but I am a little picky about stuff). An additional bonus is that this helps make backing the trailer up a little easier since it put more distance between the tow vehicle and the trailer's axle. Etrailer was the only place I could find the extended length drawbar, the price is excellent! 155193
I still stand behind my reviews. Excellent products and a you are a great company!I tell anyone who asks where I get my trailer parts from :

I needed a ball mount with a long insert so that I could tow a trailer with my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Because the Jeep has the spare tire on the back I needed the additional length to keep the trailer from touching the tire when turning. As with the last Hidden Hitch I had the quality is first class and service from etrailer was courteous and professional. 146401
Still working well, I no longer have the Jeep but continue to use it with my Ram truck. The additional length allows me to open the tailgate with the trailer attached.

The extra long ball mount arrived 3 days after I ordered it, exactly as promised even though one of those three days was a holiday. I checked it out - the fit was perfect and the length was just what I needed. Good price, extra-fast shipping, and perfect size & fit.....can't ask for more than that. I normally pull a 3-rail motorcycle trailer with three dirt bikes on it. We recently added a quad to the mix. Fortunately the quad fit in the bed of my pickup, but only if I left the tailgate down. For the first run, I put the quad in the bed and hooked up the trailer full of bikes to the hitch. Fortunately, my neighbor across the street was watching and was nice enough to come over and point out that the first time I went around a turn, the trailer was going to smack the tailgate (He had done this himself a few years earlier). Oops!! I really needed that longer ball mount for a trip this coming weekend. eTrailer came through again, as always! Thanks folks!!! 56928

Needed to extend the hitch on my side by side. This did just the trick. Now I have room to crank the tongue jack on trailers I want to hook up to. As always, Etrailer did an outstanding job on getting the part to me in a timely manner. 217213
Working just fine.Thanks for asking.

Some pictures of the hitch in place. Works very well. Hauled a few trailers already with no issues. Very strong ball mount regarding its long length. 133963
by: Jim W09/03/2014
product was as advertised. Was packaged well and arrived in a few days. Bought it to move my camper back far enough to get my tailgate open. It did that. Probably need one with a 4" lift though as the camper is low when hooked up. Didn't take into account that by putting a four wheeler in the back of truck that it will hang lower. 149861
Been working great. I did buy another one with a 4 lift to accommodate the weight of my four wheeler.
Jim W - 09/03/2015by: Jim C.10/12/2015
I talked with Jonathan about the hitch prior to submitting the order. good guy. I finally used the hitch to put my boat in, worked great, and the price was very reasonable for a quality product. 229770
I actually own two, one with a 2 ball. one with 1 7/8 ball. They are strong and make a short tongue trailer manageable Not the only product I have purchased from etrailer, all fine products.
Jim C - 10/11/2016by: Jellman10/16/2012
etrailer was the only site that carried this length. Due to the length this will not play into your tongue weight, you can still use the max tongue weight even at this length 57405
The products are still in place and working great. No issues or concerns. They have been through a harsh NewEngland winter being towed with a 4 place snowmobile trailer - worked great..
Jellman - 04/17/2014by: Cooper08/27/2013
I had looked for an extra long ball mount for quite some time. I was to the point I almost made my own having been a welder and fabricator for many years. But I noticed while looking on etrailers site after ordering some tires and wheels that some more web site they sold exactly what I had been looking for. I could not have made one for the price I paid for this one and it would not have been powder coated either. Its very well made - nice and long to get the ball out away from my bumper. I would recommend this to anyone that needs the extra length and I think Hidden Hitch is the only company that makes this and etrailer the only place to purchase one this long also. I love doing business with etrailer they are super and so organized in every way. I ordered mine using USP ground and received it 2 days later - what a deal. Cheers 97192

Hard to find item found We have a home with a large back yard with the access layed out so,that only a single vehicle can make the turn around the corner without a trailer,even utility or boattrailer.I had a front hitch reciever on my Suburban and I wanted a long hitch extender for easier handling..It helped even more with the use of my Polaris Ranger,which is short enough and powerful enough to make it around the corner but its hitch receiver is practically on the real axle and the control of the trailer especially backing it is very poor.Instead of an extremely long trailer tongue this extension helps it too. The extender is perfect,nicely finished and arrived within a few days.I want to mention,that the price was very reasonable even with shipping. 5021

This is perfect for vehicles with a rear mounted spare tire. I am using it for my 05 Jeep Liberty, to clear the spare tire before I had remove the spare tire and either leave it home, or put it in the limited spaced cargo area. Now I can leave the spare in its place. I do not recommend leaving the ball mount in the receiver, for the following reasons 1. theft 2 it hurts really bad when you smack a knee or your shin on it unloading or loading cargo. 3. leaving it out in the weather unnecessarily and in salty areas like near the beach, or in the rust belt will cause the mount and your ball to rust. 4. Jeep owners manual advises not to leave the ball mount in the receive unused. 299338

Excellent product. Excellent service. 105212
It has been a great product. I would recommend etrailer to anyone in search of quality trailering equipment.

I have a 2004 RAV 4 and I was trying to get my ball away from the spare tire carrier. I think I probably would have been fine with the next size (shorter) ball mount and still got the job done. The good news is that with the 2 inch drop, I can open the rear door and it just rubs the seal at the bottom of the door a little bit, but I can still easily open the door. I did not want to drop the ball any lower, So this works out well for my rig. 35846

our product is the only one that fit my bumper on my RV and I appreciate that.

George - Thank's for the quick great service. I was told by a local nation wide company that my hitch is no ware in the country to be found and that they do not have any ideal when it would be available. By searching the internet and by luck I found you and you had it in stock. You got it to me very fast and that has made my trip with my trailer possible - we thought our vacation went to pot but because of your company it was on again. Thanks very much for your help and I know where to go in the future and where to refer many of my friends to go. Best regards, Garey 384460

The 16" ball mount has served me very well. It allows me to open the rear doors on my van without hitting the LP tanks. This ball mount is hard to find. I ordered feom etrailer since I have had good service in the past. Shortly after I placed the order someone from etrailer called to say it was out of stock and they couldn't say for sure when they would be back in stock. He asked if I wanted to cancel the order. I said no, I will wait for it. I was impressed with the personal service and will continue to give them my business! 539250
by: Melissa D.11/23/2013
This mount was just long enough for my bike rack to mount to and not interfere with the trailer wheel crank. The service from etrailer.com was excellent. Got the mount to me in record time and packaged to avoid any possible damage. I will definitely return for my other trailer needs to etrailer.com. 108292
by: Dave R01/27/2015
The super extra long ball mount is perfect, gives the extra distance between tow vehicle and trailer because without the extra long mount there is only 32" between vehicle and trailer wall. A friend borrowed this trailer and when he backed up the trailer hit the rear tail light and crushed the corner of his truck. With the extra long mount at least the trailer corner wall will clear if this ever happens again. Also great if you have a rear mounted spare tire 171355
by: Dave S.03/15/2017
Needed an alternative solution due to support a new trailer and a bike rack. Called and spoke to Lisa who took the time to discuss the options and confirm that everything would work as expected. I was even able to view the online videos and product overviews ahead of placing the order. Everything was delivered promptly and fitting together as expected. Looking forward to getting back on the road with the trailer and the bikes. 353187

This extended hitch ball mount fit my 2004 Nissan Frontier perfect. After I installed my new hidden hitch I was worried because it was so far back underneath the truck. I thought I would have trouble finding a hitch mount that would extend out past the bumper. The straight part comes to the end of the bumper and only the drop down part sticks out, making it a perfect fit. Also, the drop is perfect for my small 4 x 8 trailer. 423826
by: Brian B06/15/2012
This solved a problem for me. I have a Chinook RV which has a rear entry door with electric retracting steps. The tow hitch receiver is mounted on the back of the chassis behind the steps so an extra long ball mount was needed and this was the only one I found. It turned out to ba tailor made, the exact length I needed. The ball and locks are excellent quality too. Thank you for the prompt delivery and great service. 44295
by: Scott p07/25/2014
Product came just as described and fit perfectly for what I needed. I used it for a hitch mounted on the frame of the rear of my fifth wheel rv. Hitch was mounted at the very end of the I-beam style frame i had on rv but I wasn't comfortable with the length of a standard size ball mount receiver. It needed to be longer. This product was exactly what I needed to complete my rv hitch setup. Thanks e-trailer ! 142896
by: Mike C10/24/2011
I chose this super long ball mount for my Jeep Liberty, which due to the mounting of the spare tire can be a problem for towing a trailer that needs a rise rather than a drop. I used this ball mount in the 3/4" rise position (upside-down) and I can now hitch my boat trailer with surge breaks and it clears the spare tire, just barely. Worked very well for my needs, and appears to be very sturdy construction. 26004
by: Paul05/24/2017
I ordered this item as I was in need of a ball mount to extend beyond the spare tire mount on my Jeep. Troy did a great job listening to my needs. he also asked me many questions to ensure I got what I needed. I was giving a promised delivery date and the order arrived a day ahead of time. Great job etrailer.com. If every I'm in need for anything else I will be sure to contact you. Thanks, Paul 384247
by: Bob L01/28/2014
I searched the Internet for hours before finding a long shaft ball mount that would allow me to make sharper turns with boat trailers on the front hitch of my truck. The mount is well built with a great finish and should easily meet its 6,000 lbs. spec. Etrailer web site was easy to use, and the mount was delivered the day after I ordered it. The packaging of the mount was close to bullet proof. 115078

Super fast processing and shipping. Item was delivered less than 48 hours after placing order. Worked perfectly for providing needed clearance between trailer and spare tire on back of Jeep Liberty. 109819
by: Kirk K.06/10/2011
I got what I ordered quickly. I still need to confirm I have the right parts to hook up to the trailer, but your customer service and advice on your website is awesome! Best customer service I've seen so far for any type of product I've ordered! One suggestion is more info on which ball type to choose. There are too many choices. I figured any 2" ball with 1" dia medium shaft should work. 16710
by: brian01/14/2017
This extension was just what I needed for my 06 jeep liberty,with the e-trailer 2"ball extension I can now pull my trailer without removing the spare tire off back door,plenty of clearance to open back door as well and with the drop of the hitch with the 2" ball trailer is level,after a year of use the chrome has not wore off and powder coating on hitch is still good,would highly recommened. 332450
by: Wayne06/16/2015
Seems fine quality. Shipping and replies quick. Only comment would be that I wish these came in a longer length. Perhaps the overall tongue weight capacity could be improved by a longer and thicker tubing. But that is no complaint about etrailer. This is the only place that I found that sells one this long. So thank you. Have a great day. Wayne U.S. Navy 203787
by: Fred05/28/2011
Best customer service I have seen in years. Ordered two items on a Sunday and both were shipped on Monday, received on Thursday. The extra long ball mount solved the problem of connecting the trailer on my 2004 Jeep without removing the spare tire. The new T-one wiring kit for the Jeep solved the problem of blowing the Jeep taillight fuse every 15 minutes. 15592
by: Jack M.02/24/2012
I have a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the spare tire on the rear door which causes clearance problems with some trailers, this product eliminates those problems by bringing it out past the spare tire. I didn't know these existed until I stumbled on to Etrailer's web site. Very good company to deal with, knowledgeable and have prompt service. 32453
by: Rick F.06/12/2014
Exactly what I ordered. With the spare tire on the jeep liberty, I tried an extension, but there was too much slop and noise for my liking. Found this and ordered and problem solved. Great customer service, got emails keeping me informed at all stages of the process I would definitely order fromthem again . Quality product, great price. 135294
by: Don S11/30/2016
Products exactly as ordered. Very fast shipping. After I ordered, I realized there was another item I wanted. I called the 800 number and Steffen was a great help, cancelled the current order, placed everything in a new order and added the new item I wanted. Allowed me to get the savings due to order value. Great service. 321693

Just what I needed to add clearance for towing our 1962 Shasta Astroflyte that has a bunk that hangs out over the tongue. 517409
by: BC09/04/2013
Needed to get more clearance between boat trailer and truck so I could still lower tailgate or make tight turns without worrying. Didn't want to give up towing capacity or tongue weight by using a hitch extension. This solved my problem and fit well in the Class 3 factory tow hitch that came with my 2013 Toyota Tacoma. 98340

by: Farmer Boots05/19/2012
I have an RV with a rear engine/radiator. I needed something that would move the bicycle rack as far away as possible. This worked great, plenty of room for air flow. Etrailer was great to work with they said what they do and did what they said. We shipped UPS ground and it was at my door in 4 days. 40990
by: Richard S02/24/2011
The product arrived quickly and as advertised, paint work is acceptable and function is excellent. Having a few extra inches helps keep from scratching/denting bumpers and does not appreciably increase tongue weight. I would recommend this product and etrailer for prompt, courteous service. 7750

Excellent customer service. Needed an extra long ball mount so when opening my Toyota Tundra tail gate(big), it wouldn't hit the tongue jack on my small ATV trailer. I found it easily on etrailer. It was shipped the day I ordered and upgraded form standard to express shipping. Great service! 2589
by: Steve Miller08/31/2016
This hitch ball mount is reallllly well built. Even better is the service I received. I ordered it two days ago and it arrived today carefully packed and in perfect condition. Do be aware that the pin doesn't come with it so if you order one be sure to order a pin to go with it. 289734
I purchased it to use to mount an amateur radio antenna. The hitch is great but it didnt work well for the antenna so it you ever want a bargain on a hidden hitch ball mount, just let me know. The hitch wasnt the problem. The location of the antenna was. So after a year, it is, sorry to say, collecting dust!! I hope things are going well for you and your company.
Steve M - 10/27/2017by: larry02/21/2016
etralier's service exceeding my expectations; The tow bar was just as described and the extra length allows me to use the bed of my new truck , because I can now let the tail gate down and not hit the trailer landing... Thank you etrailer for your commitment to costumer excellence 238354

I've been towing my 18 ft boat behind the 26 ft fifth wheel, quite a wagon train hooked to the truck, fir over a year, and haven't had any issues with the draw bar. Very happy with my purchase and how well I've been treated at etrailer.com. Will look to them in the future! Thanks. 493691
