Can Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount be Used in Rise Position
Updated 08/12/2025 | Published 08/08/2025
Question:
Can this be used in rise position? One of the videos states it “can not” be used in rise position but the sticker which is visible in the photos states “6”/6”rise”.Which is it? Can or Cannot be used in rise?

Hey Josh, this is an interesting question but I checked with Gen-Y and they state you can't use the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 6" Drop - 7K # 325-GH-12005 in the rise position even though the sticker on the ball mount platform does show specs for if it were to be used in rise position. Are you wanting something similar that is cushioned and can be used in rise position?
