Question:
My trailer rides level at about 22 inches and my hitch receiver is only 18 inches. Can I flip this over and have the ball above the receiver?

Expert Reply:
The Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit w/ 2 Zinc Balls - 5-1/2" Drop # AM3410 can be inverted to give you up to a 6-1/2 inch rise still adjustable just like the up to 5-1/2 inch drop. I've attached a couple videos as well as an article to assist.
I also recommend the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # AM3492 to secure your ball mount to your hitch and also the ball platform to the shank to deter theft.
