Video Transcript for Review of Gen-Y Hitch Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - Replacement Shank - 325-GH-506

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this replacement Gen-Y adjustable ball mount shank with the 12 1/2 inch drop for two inch hitches. Has a 16,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now, this part here will replace the shank from your Gen-Y adjustable ball mount with stacked receivers. This uses a solid shank right here that'll slide into your two inch hitch receiver on your vehicle.

And then up front, you'll have your six stacked two inch receivers that'll let you mount a ball mount, a bike rack, or other hitch mounted accessories for your vehicle. The adjustable height on this will let you tow trailers of different heights with the same vehicle. Works well if you have a lifted truck. If you put a ball mount in here, the ball mount can be lowered or raised to match your application. We mentioned the maximum drop on this would be 12 1/2 inches.

That would be if you put your ball mount, if you mount it in your hitch just like this in the drop position. And then you put your ball mount at the very bottom receiver opening. That'll get you a maximum drop of 12 1/2 inches. Now, this is not designed for it to be used in the rise position, only the drop. This is a heavy-duty steel construction.

It is ideal for towing extra large loads. They do put a zinc primer on it, and then they coat it with a nice, durable, silver vein epoxy powder coat to resist corrosion. Now, when you do install this into your receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure the shank to the vehicle. Now, that is not included. You would have to supply those, or we do sell them separately on our website.

The two hitch pin holes here, diameter is 5/8 of an inch. This is SAE J684 certified. It is made in the USA. Application, it's for two inch by two inch trailer hitch receivers. Gross towing weight capacity is 16,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity of 2,000 pounds. Last thing I do wanna mention is this ball mount has many different dimensions to it. So, I do recommend for you to go to the product page of this part number, and we'll have this picture of the shank with all the dimensions put on it. And that way, you can verify any dimension that may be needed for your application. But that should do it for the review on this replacement Gen-Y adjustable ball mount shank with the 12 1/2 inch drop for a two inch hitch. Has a 16,000 pound gross towing weight capacity..
