Good morning Dale! Yes, that’s exactly the kind of setup where the Fastway Flash Force Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA33FR or # FA93FR makes a lot of sense. Both fit a 2" x 2" receiver and include both a 2" hitch ball and a 2-5/16" hitch ball, so you can rotate the ball assembly instead of swapping the whole ball mount each time.

The main thing is choosing the right drop range. The # FA33FR gives you up to 5" of drop and 5-1/2" of rise, while the # FA93FR gives you up to 7" of drop and 7-1/2" of rise. If your truck and trailers sit fairly close to level already, I’d lean toward the # FA33FR because it gives you a useful range without hanging down as far. If one of your trailers sits lower, or your truck is lifted or just sits higher at the hitch, the # FA93FR gives you more adjustment to work with.

Capacity-wise, both 2" receiver versions are rated for up to 8,000 lbs with the 2" ball and 10,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball, so just make sure your loaded trailer weight and the rest of your towing setup stay within those ratings and of course under your truck's tow rating. Also I would add a lock pin kit for added security with # FA86-00-3685. This has one pin that goes in the receiver hole, and the second pin replaces one of the original pins on the ball portion to keep it secure.

Dale, if you can measure from the ground to the inside top edge of your receiver and then from the ground to the bottom of each trailer coupler while the trailers are level, I can help you pick between the 5" and 7" drop versions.
