The Ark Articulating off-road coupler, part # AR44FR, actually doesn't fit into your trailer hitch receiver on your truck. It's for off-road trailers that have a receiver tube on them and then it couples to any 2 inch ball on your truck's ball mount. It's a style that is getting more and more popular in off-road trailers as the "overlanding" craze keeps growing.

For trailer's that don't have a receiver to fit the Ark coupler into we carry universal tubes like part # 337RT25806B. You'll need to weld this to your trailer's frame.

You also may want a locking hitch pin like # e98882 to secure the ball mount to your trailer.
