Can Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount Be Flipped Over
Updated 01/27/2026 | Published 08/24/2024
Question:
I recently bought a Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount - 5-1/4 Rise, 6-3/4 - 6,000 lbs. In the pictures, it shows the ballmount piece inverted, curving upwards. Im assuming the hitch is rated for that way of mounting? I mounted my ball with the ballmount piece curving downwards and Im not getting enough rise for my needs. Just wanted a clarification before I mount the ball differently.

Hi Taylor; yes, it is perfectly acceptable to flip the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45901 over and use it in the rise position. You can see this in the picture attached below.
