Question:

to get a rise out of the hitch do you just flip it over so it comes up and does it have the same rating as it would going down.

Expert Reply:

The Titan Ball Mount you referenced, part # 45123 can certainly be used in the rise position. The ball mount has a 3-1/2 inch rise, and has the same 12000 lb towing/ 1200 lb tongue weight capacity when used in the rise position.

This ball mount requires a trailer ball with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank like the # A-90 2 inch ball or the # 63836 2-5/16 inch ball.

This ball mount is not compatible with the Ford Super Duty OEM 2-1/2 inch receiver.
