  • How To Install a Trailer Hitch Ball to 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback Limited

  • I have spoken with one of my contacts with Andersen Manufacturing who tells me that a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball is not available for the EZ Hitch Adjustable Steel Ball Mount.

For your smaller trailer that uses the 1-7/8 inch ball, assuming that you are needing a maximum of an 10 inch drop I would suggest an adjustable ball mount like part # TK5007...

  • Availability of Adapter to Lower Height of Trailer Ball Mounted on Towing Bumper of 2005 Ford F150
  • If you are speaking of a towing bumper where the bumper itself has a hole in it where you can install a trailer ball, there is no adapter available that would lower the ball.
