Hi Tom! Your options will depend on how much drop you need to get your trailer level. The etrailer Ball Mounts for 2-1/2" hitch receivers are available in the following options:
2 inch drop, part # e68TV
4 inch drop, part # e48TV
6 inch drop, part # e98TV
You can also use the Curt Hitch Lock # C23519 with any of our 10K etrailer ball mounts designed for 2-1/2 inch receivers to help secure your ball mount.
Can you tell me the year, make, and model of your vehicle, along with how much drop you need? I can help narrow down the options that will work best for your setup.
