Question:
I'm looking at this Air Safe hitch for my 2023 Ram 2500. I tow a flatbed trailer for work and a 24 foot enclosed trailer on weekends. They both sit at different heights and I normally use an adjustable hitch. Can I still adjust the height with this setup?

Hey Jeremy!
Yes! The Air Safe Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" receivers # AS23FR includes an adjustable, reversible bracket that gives you up to 2-1/2" of or 5-1/4" of rise. You can reposition it to match your trailers coupler height and keep everything level.
You can also adjust the air pressure to accommodate different tongue weights, which is handy when you're switching trailers. Just keep the 1,050-lb maximum tongue weight in mind.
If your Ram has a 2-1/2" receiver, you'll want the # AS45FR instead. It has the same adjustment range but fits the larger receiver directly.
How much do you currently use for each trailer?
