Expert Reply:

There is a trailer coupler designed specifically to be used for offroading, from Lock N Roll. This uses an articulating connection between the coupler and accompanying hitch mount that gives a full 360 degree rotation between the two. So the trailer won't bounce off a hitch ball as you go over uneven surfaces as there isn't a hitch ball in use. You can use either of the following couplers, depending on if your trailer has an A-frame or 3" channel:

- Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - 3" Channel - Trailer Side # 336TS508

- Lock N Roll Articulating Coupler - A-Frame - Trailer Side # 336TS504

That's for the trailer, then for your tow vehicle's 2 inch hitch, depending on how much rise or drop you need you can choose either of the following:

- Up To 4-1/4" Rise or Drop: Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch w/ 3-Position Channel # 336VS503505

- Up To 8-1/4" Rise or Drop: Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch w/ 5-Position Channel # 336VS503515

You can lock these to your hitch with the InfiniteRule Locking Pins for Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch for 2" Hitches # IR59FR.
