The Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler # 336TS504 along with the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch # 336VS503505 is no more difficult to back up a trailer than a standard ball and coupler. As there is less resistance in the motion of this coupler you also do not have to worry about the trailer sticking on the ball mount and not turning especially in the snow when you begin to turn and the rear end of the vehicle begins to slide.

Yes, you could use the Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers #e48YR with a Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch like part #336VS503505, but you'll be reducing the capacity of your vehicle's trailer hitch by 50%. If the trailer hitch is…

Hey Nick, thanks for reaching out. If you’re thinking about welding the bolt-on Lock N Roll coupler onto your A-frame, I’d skip that idea. That version’s meant to be bolted, not welded. It’s painted and has pre-drilled holes, which makes it a bad…

Welcome back! The Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler #336TS504 is listed as a weld-on application but if you want to bolt it on you'll need to drill some 5/8" holes. Most of our bolt on couplers have 3 holes on either side spaced 2"…

Answer 11

Sounds like your trailer may have torsion axles which means the main body of the axle does not move up and down. If instead the axle uses leaf springs for suspension then the whole axle does move up and down. If you are unsure you can send me a…
