Question:
I have a Class 3 receiver installed on a 2014 Jeep Patriot with a 2 inch opening and I need to add a hitch with approximately a 2 inch drop and 50mm ball for use with European trailers under 2,000 lbs. This ball has a 3/4 inch shank, but most of the 2 inch mounts seem to require a 1 inch shank. Can you please recommend a ball and mount combination or a Euroball that would work for this application? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you. First, for a 50mm ball I recommend # 63912. Then for a ball mount with a 2 inch drop I recommend # D-4 and the Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3. You are right, the ball mount takes a ball with a 1 inch shank diameter so to be able to use the 50mm ball with its 3/4 inch shank, you will also need bushing # C21100. This will allow the 3/4 inch shank to work with the 1 inch ball hole.
