Question:

I have a 2025 F-150 and the hitch is under the truck 5 1/4 from the outside of the bumper to the center of the pin hole. I need a 10,000-ball hitch that can extend outward from the bumper enough to allow 3 clearance for my mud flap. I also need about a 5 rise with a 2 5/16 ball. can you recommend a ball hitch. adjustable is fine. thanks,

Hello David, thanks for reaching out. This is a pretty tall order. We have plenty of 10K+ capacity adjustable 2-5/16" ball mounts. The problem is the length. We could clear your bumper, but nothing we have would be long enough to allow room for your mud flaps.

We have a fixed ball mount that has a 4" rise and would be long enough, but it is only rated for 6,000 lbs, the Curt # D-28. I am afraid we do not have anything that checks all of your boxed. We can absolutely provide an adjustable ball mount, but nothing that would allow you to use your mud flaps.
