• Compatibility of Covert-A-Ball Interchangeable Nickel Ball Set with Aluminum Ball Mount
  For use with an aluminum ball mount, the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set in stainless steel # 902B is your safest choice and my only recommendation. Regardless of which ball size you use, the weight capacity will remain at 10,000 lbs when used in conjunction with its 1" solid shank. If you were to use the nickel ball set # 900B you referenced, the dissimilar metals coming into contact with one another can cause a reaction risking damage to the aluminum ball mount and eventually...

• Availability of Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Trailer Hitch Ball w/ 1-1/4 Inch Diameter Shank
  Convert-A-Ball doesn't offer their Interchangeable Trailer Ball Sets with a 1-1/4 Inch diameter. If you're wanting to use a ball mount with a 1-1/4 inch hole for the trailer ball, you could use a Hitch Ball Bushing like # 58184, which would allow you to use a 1 inch diameter shank trailer ball in a ball mount with a 1-1/4 inch hole. This would allow you to use the # 902B Stainless Steel Interchangeable Ball Set or if you prefer nickel plated, you could use # 900B. Keep in mind that using...

• Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Hitch Ball, and Wiring Recommendation for a 2010 Subaru Forester
  For your 2010 Subaru Forester, I recommend a 2 inch trailer hitch, like the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13147, that you have referenced.

I have included a link to the installation details and a video installation below. You will also want to check your owners manual for your vehicle towing capacities. The...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 7,400 lbs Trailer and a 3,000 lbs Trailer
  With that wide of a range of tongue weight and the lift of your F-150, I recommend the Reese Weight Distribution w/out Shank item # RP66021. This system works with trailer's weighing up to 8,000 lbs and tongue weights within the range of 400 lbs - 800 lbs. This might be a little stiff with your boat trailer but any lower on the bottom end will put you below the effective range for your camper. For a shank that will work with your truck's 6" lift you will need the 9" Drop Equal-i-zer Weight...

• Can a Reducer Bushing Be Used on 10,000 Pound Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch
  I spoke with my contact at Equal-I-zer about using a reducer bushing on the Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET.

• Recommendations for an Interchangeable Ball Set with 1-7/8 Inch and 2 Inch Balls
  The first thing you will want to look at is the diameter of the ball hole in the ball mount you use. Some of the interchangeable ball sets we carry that have a 1-7/8 inch ball will fit a 3/4 inch diameter hole and some fit a 1 inch diameter hole. If you have a 3/4 inch diameter hole I recommend kit # 802b because of the stainless steel construction. It won't corrode or wear away like chrome. If you have a 1 inch diameter ball hole then I recommend # 902B for the same reason; stainless...
