Recommendations On 2-Ball Mount for 12,500 Pounds
Question:
Ws6-2 seems to be the only one with a rating of 12,500. All other 2” hitches ie: Ws8-2 are rated 10 k. Could this be a typo?

The Weigh Safe 2-Ball Mount w/ Built-In Scale - 2 inch Hitch - 6 inch Drop, 7 inch Rise - 12.5K WS6-2 will have the towing capacity that you will need. This 2 ball system comes with one 2 inch ball rated for 8,000 pounds, and one 2-5/16 inch hitch ball rated for 12,500 pounds, and has a tongue weight of 1,500 pounds. The hitch balls are stainless steel and are corrosion resistant. Per Weigh Safe there shanks were previously rated for 10,000 pounds but later on learned that they could tow up to 12,500 pounds.
