Availability of 12.5k Rated Ball Mount With No Rise/Drop  

Updated 04/20/2026 | Published 04/19/2026

Question:

Do you sell a straight hitch 2 in shaft with a removable ball for at minimum 12.5k Rating. I don’t need a drop hitch but if it’s the only way max drop would be 4 in due to clearance height from the ground. I also need to be able to have or put a sway bar attachment to it. Thanks Brian

Hey Brian, welcome back! Anything that has a straight shank like that will have the balls permanently mounted. If you can live with that, the Gen-Y 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch Receivers # 325-GH-054 will work for your application.

This has a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball so your heavier trailers/couplers are going to be compatible. The 2" ball is rated for 12,000 lbs and the 2-5/16" ball is rated for 16,000 lbs. For the sway tab, you can add the Dual Sway Control Bracket # 325-GH-300-1.

Adjustable ball mounts that can sit at 0 rise/drop are going to have a fixed 2 or 3-ball just like the Gen-Y so I would go that route and save yourself some money. If you ever decided you need a rise/drop down the line you could always get the # 325-GH-503 separately which would allow for adjustment when paired with the # 325-GH-054.

What trailer are you towing?

Thank you for the information. For this application I tow a 26 ft enclosed trailer full of Rodeo gear for a drill team I volunteer for . It’s usually 4 times a year with an average tow of 700 miles round trip.

@BrianH you're welcome! Hauling a full drill team setup is no small job, especially with those kinds of miles a few times a year. Depending on what you're towing with, you might want to consider adding a weight distribution hitch instead.
