Hey John,

The Demco Trailer Coupler # DM88XR is a channel mount style coupler and would need to connect to a channel like the # DM55342. We offer different channel mounts and versions with the channel built into an actuator so finding the correct part to go with it is going to depend on the style of the trailer tongue. If you want to send me some pictures and measurements of the trailer tongue if it's a straight tongue then I can pick out some options for you.

Hey Tim, good question. The Weigh safe ball mounts like part #WS78RR were actually designed with this in mind. There is a max weight for the scale and when the scale hits this max weight the ball basically bottoms out and stops pushing on the scale.…
