Can I Replace the Ball Mount of a 3 Inch B&W Tow and Stow for a 2-1/2 Inch Ball Mount?

Question

Question:

Can I buy just the shank replacement. I need to change from the 3 inch shank with tow and stow to a 2.5 shank. I believe the double ball mount will work on a new shank. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

No, you can't. I contacted B&W this morning and was told they do not sell the components of their tow and stow ball mounts separately. While you are most likely correct and they are probably interchangeable, B&W wants you to buy a new one.

It sounds like you have either item # BWTS30037B or item # BWTS30040B. The comparable 2-1/2" Tow and Stow two ball ball mounts are listed below:

B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise item # BWTS20040B

B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2.5" Hitch - 5" Drop/4.5" Rise item # BWTS20037B

I have linked our entire selection of 2-1/2" B&W Tow and Stows below in case one of these is not what you want. If you have any additional questions feel free to email me back directly.

Yes I can; the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2" Hitches #C48239 can only be used in the drop position. For something that can be used with a rise (up to 4-1/2 inches) you'd need the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2"…
