by:

This is really nice. Beveled edges so it slips into receiver hitch so sweet. Beautiful welds heavy weight mount for my weigh safe ball. I bought a 10,000 lbs hitch and I wanted a draw bar with the same type rating. Now the only thing limiting my trailer capacity is my truck's ability to tow, not the hitch, bar or ball.



by:

I didn’t receive the ball mount. Only thing in the box was anti rattle device



by:

I’m pleased with the product and how prompt the delivery was. However the packaging was insufficient and the packaging was torn open all over. Scuffing of the finish is a result and of little consequence due to the intended use. It’s a stinger w/ball for motorhome. May I suggest better packaging in the future



by:

The products themselves I’m sure will do the job. I’m very disappointed in how they arrived. Poorly packaged, one piece of paper wrap did nothing. There was a hole in the box from the hitch not being wrapped up. There are chips in the powder coat.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. I recommend touching up the affected areas with a rust resistant paint such as Rustoleum.



by:

I purchased a Ranch Hand rear bumper for my 2500HD but wanted to retain the use of a receiver hitch. The ball mount would need to extend 8" from the pin hole to even reach the edge of the bumper. This BM29 ball mount works out perfect. The welds look great and the finish is just fine. The only complaint I have is they gained a little length by moving the pin hole a little closer to the end shortening the insertion amount slightly. Not a big deal, it is just noticable next to the other mounts I have at the house.



by:

Slightly longer, so you can open your tailgate with a cargo trailer attached. Trailers with a tongue jack that is forward are problematic for tailgates...



by:

I like the extra long length. No one else make a hitch this long.



by:

Perfect size for a 2004 Jeep Liberty with spare wheel on back. Very nice quality. I can now mount my trailer hassle free.



by:

BM20 Long Drawbar. Perfect for my 2005 Jeep Liberty. I no longer have to remove the spare to tow. Solved what was a major pain!



by:

Gives me the extra 6" extension I need so that the rear liftgate on my van can open without hitting the trailer jack, or the spare tire which I carry on the trailer tongue.

This is a VERY solid piece, would easily handle far more than my 300lb tongue weight.
As usual etrailer delivered exactly as promised.

its been hung on the back for a year. I never take it off.All kinds of weather, including Hurricane Matthew, Totally bulletproof.I have only one complaint, I bang my shins into it once in a whilewhen loading stuff in the back. But thats me, not the hitch.In a year its pulled 3 different boats, 2 different trailersand, in a pinch, anchor point for the chain while felling a tree.

This worked out perfectly. Had a flat bed put on one of our pickups, but the frame mounted hitch sat too far back from the new dock bumper. This ball mount moved it out just right so we didn't have to put a new receiver on the truck.

Great!



by:

Excellent, heavy duty, well built. HOWEVER, the width of the lip where the ball mounts is over a 1/4" wider than standard. This means standard accessories such as stabilizers and backup guides will not be able to be used with this ball mount.

No change. I had to have a custom ball mount made because of the limitations of your product and the complete lack of anything else.



by:

Placed order and received two days later. Everything as expected.



by:

Just bought a set of front steps for my boat, and needed some extra length on the ball mount.
This mount fits the bill at 13 1/4 long



by:

Needed to extend my hitch due to tailgate needing to be open. E-Trailer had this one on hand for a very decent price. Easy order, and fast shipping. Thank YOu.



by:

Hard to find item. But extends trailer back enough to open tail gate without hitting jack crank. Was not available at Northern or other suppliers locally.

Product has worked out to exceed my expectations. In fact it makes my trailer easier to tow.



by:

This product allowed me to open my deck lid on the tow vehicle while hitched. I love it, was delivered promptly and is excellent quality, could not love it more!
Also increased capacity from 600/6000 to 1000/10000 lbs. while not needed I like the safety of the margin.

This was exactly what I was trying to find in various stores with no luck. Quality built, American made product. Gives me the little extra distance for turning and allows tailgate to drop without hitting trailer.

I love the hitch. However, the crime [chrome] has come off of the ball and it has rusted. The extended hitch has worked very well in towing and launching my boat.



by:

We got this so we could open our tailgate without having to unhitch the trailer. It works great! Product is good, service was fast... it made our trip to Alaska much happier (our dog needs the tailgate lowered so she can jump in and out for potty breaks). We still need to have the truck and trailer pretty much straight in line with each other... if there is too much angle left or right, we can't fully lower the tailgate. We drive a 2015 Ford F-150.



by:

As advertised. Great way to get extra clearance under my sled deck to haul our enclosed trailer and still open the front door.

A year later and still no complaints. No signs of abnormal wear or stress on the hitch or stinger. Seems like it will do its job for a long while.



by:

I ordered the Dexter nev-er-adjust electric trailer brake and bearing kit's for my Aliner. The installation was easy thanks to your instructional video's. The delivery was fast and everything fit perfectly. I took one twelve hundred mile trip and had no issues. I also ordered the Brophy ball mount because it was long enough for me to drop my tailgate without hitting the hitch crank.

Thanks



by:

I had never towed anything before and recently bought a small pop up camper. The Ball mount was to short for my 2011 Jeep Wrangler and I had to remove the spare tire each time to correctly hitch. This Ball mount is the perfect solution. Just the correct length to hitch up with out any more problems. Also better made and less expensive then the dealer sold me. By reading the questions asked by customers I was able to pick out the correct product. Great Web Site and Excellent service.



by:

Great for chassis cab trucks with long boxes.

  • Can 18 inch Hitch Extender be Used with Longer Ball Mount
    Using the Buyers Products hitch extender part # 3371804017 with the ball mount part # BM20 would work well but you'd need to be really careful not to exceed the reduced capacity due to the hitch extender. The extender reduces the capacity of the hitch to 30 percent due to the length and movement created.

  • Availability of Shorter Hitch Extension for 2 inch Hitch
    The shortest hitch extender we offer for a 2 inch hitch is the Brophy # HE06 which measures 7-3/8 inches from pin hole to pin hole. If this is a towing setup a longer ball mount might be your best option to give you the length you are looking for. For example, the Ball Mount part # BM20 has a distance of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball hole.

  • How to Pick Out a Ball Mount for a 1-1/4 inch Class II Hitch

To do that check out the help article link I attached. Once you know what you need check out the other link I attached that has all of the ball mounts we offer.

  • Recommended Hitch Ball and Receiver for 2011 Chrysler Town and Country
    The best way to determine the correct rise you will be need will be to first install the Curt hitch. Then park your Town and Country van and the trailer on level ground. Measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. Then, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the coupler is higher, the difference is the amount of rise you will need. You can then go through our ball mount main page, linked for you, to find the...

  • How to Prevent a 12 Inch Receiver Hitch Extension From Rattling in Receiver
    Adding an extension introduces another component in between the receiver and the ballmount or hitch accessory. Because of this, getting a certain amount of wobble is unavoidable. If you're using the extension for a hitch mounted accessory, you can use an anti-rattle device like part # BX88224. However, keep in mind that using an extender will lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. If you'll be towing, you'd be better off using a longer ball mount, if the longer...

  • How to Measure to Choose a Ball Mount with the Right Rise or Drop to Tow a Trailer Level
    I can help you out with choosing a ball mount. You do want the trailer to be level when you tow it so there are some measurements needed to determine the drop or rise needed to tow the trailer level. First, measure from level ground up to the top of the receiver opening on your 2011 Ford F-150. Then use the trailer jack to level the boat and measure from level ground to the bottom of the coupler. If the hitch is taller than the coupler the difference between the two measurements is the...

  • Longer Weight Distribution Shank to Help with Truck Tailgate Clearance with Equal-i-zer System
    So your best solution is actually going to be a longer weight distribution shank like the Curt # C17122 which is 18 inches long overall and 14 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the holes on the vertical portion of the shank. Hitch extensions in general aren't a great idea as they cut capacity like you mentioned, but more importantly they are designed for use with weight distribution systems so you should not go that route. The Curt shank is perfectly compatible...

  • Will Brophy Ball Mount BM20 Allow Rear Hatch to Open
    Yes, the rear hatch on your Ford Explorer will still be able to open when using the Brophy Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # BM20. You wouldn't need sway bars due to the longer ball mount so you're set there. You'd only need a hitch ball, either 2" hitch ball # C54CR or 2-5/16" hitch ball # C40005 depending on your trailer coupler. Then to secure the ball mount use pin and clip # C21504 or hitch lock # e98881.

  • Long Ball Mount and Hitch Extension for 2000 Ford Excursion with Dual Rear-Mount Spare Tires
    The extra-long 2-inch ball mount we offer, part # EA40 from Brophy, is 15-3/4-inches long and may give you the clearance you need at your dual rear-mounted spare tires to let you use a friction sway control unit like # 83660 on a bracket # RP26003. If you measure from the center of your hitch pin hole rearward 15-3/4-inches that point will be where the center of the hitch ball hole will be.

    Tongue jacks like the Stromberg Carlson Electric A-Frame Tongue Jack # JET-2500 are capable of being turned and bolted into a different orientation. As this jack will only have 3 bolt holes the head will turn 120 degrees to either side. Also the utility light on the head of the jack will not shine on the hitch like it will currently.

  • 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Extension for 2014 Dodge Ram with Front Mount Trailer Hitch
    I do have a solution that might work for you, though it is not an extender. An extender would reduce your tongue weight capacity of the hitch by half, so it is not the best solution for you. Instead, I recommend a long ball mount. Take a look at # 2736 as an example. It is rated for 5,000 pounds and measures 12 inches long from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. It has a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop. We also have # BM20. This ball mount measures 13-1/4"...

  • Needing Long Ball Mount With 4 or 5 Inch Drop
    Although we don't have a 15-3/4 inch long ball mount with a 4-5 inch drop, we can get you pretty close to that. The Curt # C45270 measures 13 inches in length measured from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hole where the trailer ball installs. This is the longest ball mount we offer with the type of drop you're needing. The ball mount has a 7500 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacity and a 4-inch drop, For a 1-7/8 trailer ball, use # 40038 or # 63845 for a 2-inch ball.

    The only other extension option we carry besides the Torklift SuperTruss extender that does not cut your tongue weight in half is an extra long ball mount. Traditional extensions such as part # C45796 cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on the truck in half because it creates extra leverage and movement in your towing setup. The only extra long ball mount we offer that is long enough for your setup is the Hidden Hitch ball mount part # BM20 at 13-1/4 inches long. That length is...

So for the amount of rise that you want your best option would be the part # C40047 for a Rockerball since it has a 1 inch shank diameter and then the Brophy ball mount # BM20 which has a rise of 3/4 inches. This would get you really close to what...

Weight distribution hitch systems such as # C17501 should not be used with any type of hitch extender or adapter.
