Question:
Does a drawbar 31/4 will work on part 36116 for a 1996 lincon town car? Or it has to be a 31/8 drawbar
asked by: Benito
Expert Reply:
The hitch part # 36116 is a Class II hitch that has the part # 36063 as the recommended ball mount which has a 3-1/8 inch rise. If there was a Class II hitch compatible ball mount that had a 3-1/4 inch rise available you could use it, but we do not carry one.
That being said, the difference between the two sizes would not be hardly noticeable so the 3-1/8 should work just fine.
For a 2 inch ball you would need part # 19258, or for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19257.
