Is a 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball Available for the Diversi-Tech Adjustable Ball Mount # DTALBM6625

Question:

I am considering buying the DTALBM6625 ball mount for my truck. I notice that the ball mount platform comes with both a 2 inch and a 2 5/16 in ball. Occasionally Ive had to pull a smaller trailor with the 1 7/8 in hitch. Does Diversitech make a single ball mount platform with a 1 7/8 in ball that can be used on the hitch?

I do have a solution that will allow you to use a 1-7/8 inch ball mount with the Diversi-Tech Adjustable Aluminum ball mount, but I spoke with my contact at Diversi-Tech and she told me that they do not offer a separate ball mount platform with a 1-7/8 inch ball mount.

Instead, take a look at the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2.5" Hitch - 7" Drop/7.5" Rise - 18K - Black
Item # BWTS20049B. This adjustable ball mount allows you to use the same ball mount platform for a 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. This ball mount fits 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch receivers and has a 7-inch drop and 7-1/2 inch rise as the ball mount that you referenced.

If you need a ball mount for a 2 inch receiver, then you will want the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 7" Drop, 7-1/2" Rise - 10K - Chrome for 2 inch Receivers, # BWTS10049C. This comes with the same size hitch balls and offers the same rise and drop.
