Question:
Seeking replacement trailer coupler for my Ziemen tilt flat bed. Probably rated 5k pounds. Existing A frame coupler is Shelby 5135. Seeking same fit 2 ball, but coupler WITHOUT trigger latch. Thanks in advance.

Expert Reply:
You mentioned A-frame, though it looks like the Shelby 5135 is a straight tongue coupler, so I'll give options for both. Since you don't want a trigger latch you'll need to upgrade to a 10k coupler but that won't be an issue, and here is what you can use:
- A-Frame Coupler: Demco Cast Head Coupler # DM37ZR
- Straight Tongue Coupler: Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52
Both the # DM37ZR and # DM15000-52 are bolt on, fit a 2" hitch ball, and use an eZ-latch so you'll just drop the coupler over the hitch ball and you're set.
