Why Aren't Adjustable Ball Mounts Made for 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch
Question:
I have been searching your website but cant find what im looking for. I want to know if you have an Adjustable Trailer Hitch that goes into a 1 1/4 Hitch Receiver. something similar to this one: MT70068 Thanks

I really wish we did, but we do not have any adjustable ball mounts that fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the # MT70068 that you referenced. The added length and leverage of the adjustable ball mounts is why they aren't made for the lighter duty 1-1/4 inch hitch size.
You'd have to go with a fixed ball mount with the correct rise/drop. I attached a help article that covers how to pick this out as well.
