Question:

Wow! That ball mount is a beast. I like it but am wondering if there might be something a little lighter duty (and less expensive). I am looking for about 14”-16” in length and just a little vertical adjustment (maybe 2” or 3”). Thank you very much!

The best option we have for this is the 22K BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount # HD208 which offers a 9-1/4" drop or 9-1/2" rise and measures 15-3/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball.

I also recommend securing your investment with a locking hitch pin like part # 34061074-D which is just for the shank or part # 34061674-D which is for the shank and the ball mount platform.

Thanks for reaching out! With all of that in mind I recommend going with the Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount # D900 instead. This is a much simpler adjustable ball mount but it measures 15-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball and then it has a max rise of 4" and a max drop of 5-3/4" so it fits right within your specs.
