What is Clearance From Hitch Pin Hole to Welded Gusset on Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball Mount # BM10
Question:
I have a bumper that requires at least 5-1/4inch clear space on the shank between the pin hole and any welds or braces. Can you tell me how much clear space is on the shank between the pin hole and the welds?

On the Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball Mount # BM10 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the welded support gusset is 3-3/4. Please note that use of this ball mount with its 10-inch drop will have the effect of reducing your hitch's capacity by 1/3. It can neither be used with extenders nor used in an inverted position.
I checked all available ball mounts with 10-inches of drop (all can be seen on the link provided) but none offers the 5-1/4-inches of clearance you require. Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC10 provides 4-inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the reinforcing gusset, the most available.
