Insert this heavy-duty mount into your 2" hitch to get 4 stacked 2" receivers for mounting the included 2" ball, 2-5/16" ball, or other hitch-mounted accessory.by: David12/28/2023
All in all a good set up. A lot more play in the receiver than I expected. Fair amount of rattling around without a trailer attached. In all fairness I do live in a state with poor roads.
by: Matt03/25/2021
Has done what it is supposed to do. I have used the hitch to tow two boats over the last two years using both ball sizes. The only issue is the appearance. Saltwater creates rust and break down of the coating on the hitch. Was never dunked in salt has been effected being near saltwater. Hitch was washed with freshwater after each use in salt.
I probably wouldn’t buy again. I have seen some other hitches that can do similar adjustments that do better near saltwater environments.

This hitch is massive . Very heavy duty. I like how easy it is to change out for different trailers.

Exceptionally well made. Looks good on the truck Will allow me to use my existing weight distributing hitch on my new and higher truck.

Excellent this is a really good hitch I have used it to tow 10000 pounds with no problem.
by: Kyle 09/23/2022
Use it all the time, love being able to adjust the height. This hitch is very heavy, but that's because it's heavy duty! I use it on 3/4 ton pickup.

This hitch is very heavy duty, better than I expected. All products I have ordered from etrailer have been exactly what they say it is and exactly what I needed. Customer service is excellent and they are very knowledgeable!

I purchased the gen-y mega duty 7.5 drop 2 inch shank 16k with the versa ball and couldn’t be any happier! This thing is perfect for my trailer and can’t wait to haul my dads trailer he has a 16 ft one. one hitch can do it all. Shipping was fast came in like 3 days.

This Gen-Y hitch is amazingly stout. I could hardly lift the box. No doubt it will pull whatever I ask it to. Great product, timely shipping. All around pleased.
by: Greg03/29/2018
Purchasing experience was outstanding. Order placed on Monday March 26 and received on March 27. Noah was very helpful and great to work with. Shipment came in 2 packages and was complete. I would highly recommend etrailer.com for purchasing your towing needs. This was the second time I have ordered from etrailer.com and both times they have exceeded expectations.

Works great for towing trailers with different heights of sway bar hitches. The ability to put whatever kind of hitch you want at any height is invaluable, I will probably never have to buy a drop hitch ever again in my life, the construction on this is very stout.
by: Leo04/08/2024
After using it, but they standard trailer the ball hitch cracked did not know who to reach out to called you guys multiple times and no response
by: Joseph05/06/2024
The hitch was perfect for the job that I was working on.95 bronco,which I mounted it at the front of vehicle so that the customer can move boats around while looking at the front windsheild.Also was able to use it at the rear of vehicle also.Perfect choice.
by: Tom08/28/2023
This hitch is solid! We used it to flat-tow a Jeep behind our motorhome and use the top slot for the bike rack. It was super solid and performed perfectly during this 4500+ mile trip.
by: Rudolph 02/23/2024
Very heavy duty stacked receiver and dual ball. Combined with the stabilizer bars i feel safe hauling my trailers. Still able to use my other hitches with this receiver too.
by: Daniel03/08/2021
I've not towed with it yet, but it's very high quality and seems way overbuilt. I like the hammered finish and the components are very nice. Once I figured out how they work, Gen-Y's 'twisting lock pin' is easier to use than a standard cotter pin and adds some piece of mind that it's not going anywhere. Love that you can store the ball mount in front of the hitch when not using it - including sideways so that it doesn't reduce ground clearance, even when in the lowest receiver. The only thing I don't like about it - which etrailer comments on in the online item description - is that it doesn't fit very snug. Combined with the 2-1/2 to 2" reducer sleeve, there's a fair amount of play. Not sure yet if this is going to create rattling when towing (that would reduce my stars). One note: based on the Gen-Y website's method for determining the appropropriate drop for my vehicle, I should have ordered the 10" drop. I did my own measuring and ordered the 7-1/2" drop instead, which works perfectly for my 2021 RAM 3500 SRW 4x4.

- US Manufactured High Capacity Adjustable Ball Mount for 2-1/2 Inch ReceiverThe Curt Rebellion # C57UR XD Shock Absorbing Ball Mount is manufactured in China. If you're looking for something made in the USA, I'd recommend a Gen-Y shock absorbing ball mount for a 2-1/2 inch receiver like # 325-GH-514 which provides up to a 7-1/2 inch rise or drop. The Gen-Y # 325-GH-1125 offers a large 16K capacity featuring a stacked receiver design that's easy to adjust for height. The ball mount can also accept 2 inch hitch accessories, which is pretty convenient. I've linked...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Ground Clearance Solution For A 2017 Forest River Forester Motorhome It's really going to depend on the angle of the road compared to the motorhome so there's no real clear cut answer without actually placing the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR and measuring to find what angle it would start to hit. That being said, the easiest solution would be to use a stacked receiver like Gen-Y's # 325-GH-514 in the rise position to raise the rack higher, without reducing the carrying capacity of the hitch.

- Anti-Rattle and Hitch Lock Recommendation for Ball Mount with Solid ShankSince there isn't a anti-rattle hitch lock combo that fits solid shank ball mounts you'd need to go with separate items to accomplish both. The part # GY88XR fits really tight so it would not be my first choice as it is known to be challenging. Instead, I'd use the part # e99007 which will fit much easier and work better overall as well. Then for a hitch lock you could use the part # BD580400 and you'd be set.

This is the same as the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-514 16,000lb weight capacity, 7-1/2" rise and drop, and 2"/2-5/16" hitch balls that you were looking at without the Pintle Lock # 325-GH-032.

To tow a trailer and haul a bike rack off of your Thor Magnitude's hitch, I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers item # 325-GH-514. This adjustable ball mount has four 2" receiver openings that will allow you to use both a hitch mounted bike rack and tow your trailer. This ball mount has a 12,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,500 lbs maximum tongue weight. This will not reduce your motorhome's current capacity. This ball mount includes...

- Best Way to Tow a Trailer and Attach a Bike Rack to the Same Hitch I have a solution but all dual hitch adapters are only rated for flat towing.

view full answer... - Shank With Drop for Blue Ox Weight Distribution SystemI believe you are asking about a shank with drop for your Blue Ox weight distribution system. Shanks are interchangeable so as long as you know how much drop you need you can choose what will work for you. For example, the Curt # C17123 shank will work and gives you up to 8-1/4" of drop if your Blue Ox system has trunnion bars or 8-1/2" if it has round bars. There is also the Curt # C17124 which gives you up to 9" of drop with trunnion bars or 10" with round bars; additionally, each of...

You'll have a 3" "safe zone" from level with a motorhome-mounted tow bar (pictured below). If you fall outside of the 3" safe zone then you'll need to measure the hitch height and baseplate height. You'll measure from the center of the motorhome trailer hitch to the ground for the hitch height and from the ground to the center of the baseplate tabs for...

- Troubleshooting A Tow Bar That Binds When Making Turns There's a 3" zone of safety with a motorhome mounted tow bar so being 7" off can cause all sorts of problems. I recommend getting an adapter like the Blue Ox High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # BX88241, which has a 7" rise or drop. If you're wanting to tow some other items like a bike rack you could also use a stacked receiver like the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-514. I also want to note that you shouldn't be backing up with your tow bar and that if you are...

- Height Above Shank on Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount 325-GH-514 From the top of the shank on the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-514 to the top of the hitch ball portion the distance is 3/4-inch. This means you need 3/4-inch clearance from the top of the receiver opening up to the bottom of the bumper. The hole in the 2-ball assembly is 3/4-inch diameter to accept 1-7/8-inch hitch ball # 325-GH-090.

- Spare Tire Carrier Compatible with Extension for Truck Bed Camper and Utility TrailerThe Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225 has a tongue weight limit of 400 lbs as you stated but it is only to be used for flat towing and not for trailer use and is also not compatible with an extension. My recommendation for your application is to use a stacked receiver ball mount like the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise - 16K # 325-GH-514 to give you the option of a spare tire carrier...

- Recommendation for Dual Hitch Bike Rack and Ball Mount Compatible with Heavy TrailerWe have a solution for you but it isn't a dual receiver but rather a stacked receiver ball mount. This won't be an adapter so won't reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch like the adapter you asked about. It will allow you to use the top receiver for your 4 Bike Thule Apex # TH9025XT as long as your loaded tongue weight is within the parameters of your trailer hitch. You can also use a weight distribution system if desired at the same time. My recommendation for you...
view full answer... - Dual Receiver Needed for Carrying Motorcycle While Dolly Towing Behind MotorhomeThe only product I know of that will accomplish what you are asking is a Gen-Y Hitch like part # 325-GH-514 which offers a 7-1/2" drop/rise. The Gen-Y Hitches use a unique stacked receiver design which they say doesn't reduce the tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch at all. The 7-1/2" difference should be enough to allow you to dolly tow your Honda Civic and use a motorcycle carrier like part # UF48-979033. Just be sure to subtract the weight of the Gen-Y Hitch (37 lbs) and the carrier...
view full answer... - Best Cushioned Adjustable Ball Mount with 2 and 2-5/16 inch Ball SizeBy far the best cushioned dual ball adjustable ball mount is the Gen-Y Torsion 2 Ball Mount part # 325-GH-1125 which has the 16k capacity you are needing, has the two ball sizes you want, and has a cushioning system that performs so well some swear it improves gas mileage. This part number fits the 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch size but for a 2 inch hitch equivalent you'd want the part # 325-GH-514.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for Flat Towing and Using a E-Bike Bike RackI have a better solution for you. You can't use an extension like that on a flat towing setup. To tow a trailer and haul a bike rack off of your motorhome's hitch, I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers item # 325-GH-514. This adjustable ball mount has four 2" receiver openings that will allow you to use both a hitch mounted bike rack and flat-tow your Trailblazer. This ball mount has a 12,000 lbs towing capacity and a 1,500 lbs maximum tongue weight. This will...

I really like this hitch because of the durable matte black finish since it does a better job of protecting the hitch than the classic glossy black finish we see on the other hitches. If you don't already have wiring I recommend checking out the Tekonsha Universal Wiring Kit # 18252 and then wrapping up your towing setup with the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers #...

It's a ball mount with 7-1/2 inches of drop or rise using 4 receiver openings to insert the hitch ball into. Two inch and 2-5/16 inch hitch balls are also included. You can use one of the bottom openings for the hitch ball to obtain the drop you need and the top opening for your motorcycle carrier. The ball mount is rated up to 2,000 pounds of total tongue weight.
