• Pintle Hitch Plate For 1997 Ford L8000 Dump Truck
  The only option we have for a pintle hook plate that has D-rings attached for the 1997 Ford L8000 Dump truck is the fabrication plates like part # 3371809042 part # 3371809043 and part # 3371809040. These plates come with the D-rings to be welded on with additional gussets for strength. Then you would use Buyers Pintle Hook with Mounting Kit - Bolt On part # 33710042.

• Recommended 3 Inch Lunette Ring Over 2-1/2 Inch Alternative
  The standard size lunette ring is 3 inches like the Demco Lunette Ring - Adjustable Channel Mount - 3" Diameter - Black - 25,000 lbs # DM09557-81.

All of our pintle hooks like # C48210 are designed to work with the 3-inch lunette ring. There will be some movement, but there is not excessive slop. There needs to be some movement with...

• Can a Swivel Type Pintle Hook Be Used with 2 Hitch
  The best option I have for an adjustable pintle hook that slides into a 2" hitch is the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate part # C48341 with the Curt Pintle Hook part # C48210. I am not aware of any way to use a swivel type pintle hook with a 2" hitch. That said, you might be interested in Lock-N-Roll system, like part # 336TS528 and part # 336VS501 which would give you the swivel feature and 2" hitch compatibility.

• Is There A Pintle Adapter Available For A B&W Tow And Stow Ball Mount In A 3 Hitch
  Though I may have another option available for you, the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS30049B is not available with a pintle hitch as of yet. With that being said, there are actually no current options available for the 3" hitches being used, so you will need to use a reducer, like the # 58552, if you do not already have one. This will allow you to go one of two ways. First will be the Curt Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball - 2-1/2" Hitches # C45908. This is rated to 20,000 pounds and...

• Recommended Adjustable 2 Ball Coupler To Replace A Lunette Ring On A Trailer
  If you are replacing your current lunette ring, you will need to check on 2 measurements to make sure a coupler will fit your channel. First will be the width and second will be the hole spacing.

• Will a Pintle Hitch Fit Weld-On Nose Plate 337TNP716625750
  Plate # 337TNP716625750 is going to be larger than what pintle hook # C48210 requires. The pintle hook is usually on the vehicle side so the mounts for it all have regular shanks that fit a hitch receiver. You want something like part # 63057. The nose plate would be used on the trailer side to attach a lunette ring such as # C48550. The bolt holes are 4-1/2 inches apart.

• What is Needed for a Pintle Hook for a Ford F-250 Super Duty to Tow a Trailer Level
  You will want a pintle hitch or any ball mount on a vehicle at the appropriate height to tow the trailer level. To do this you will need to park the vehicle and trailer on level ground and take some measurements. I have included a link to an FAQ article that will help.

• Pintle Hook Mount and Pintle Hook Recommendation for Pulling a Military Trailer With a Chevy Tahoe
  The pintle hook mount that I would recommend for you is the Pintle Hook Mount, 12-1/2 inch Tall, 8K, part # 63058. This hook mount has an adjustable rise that will go up to a 12 inches. That would put the height of your pintle hook mount right at 31 inches if it was in the highest possible position.

• Higher Rated 2 Inch Pintle Hook Mounting Plate
  Both parts # BWPMHD14005 and # BWPMHD14004 have a tongue weight capacity of 1,600 pounds. Part # C48210 has a tongue weight capacity of 4,000 pounds. So using that hook with either of those two mounts limits you to the lower 1,600 pound capacity. For a higher rated mount the Buyers Products, part # 337PM1012, has a tongue weight rating of 2,000 pounds.
