  • What Ball Mount and Coupler Is Needed For CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer CE48870?
  • The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 has a 2" ball coupler. It also requires a 4-way flat connector on your tow vehicle to operate the tail lights. The coupler has a height of 14" so you will need to ensure your ball mount has the correct amount of drop to tow level. If you measure the height to the inside of your receiver I can help you find the correct parts. The Draw-Tite Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball # DT49MR has a 2" drop and would fit with a 16" receiver height.

  • Choosing the Correct Ball Mount to Flat Tow a Mini Cooper Behind an Itasca Sunova Class A Motor Home
  • The best way to determine which ball mount will work best for you is to measure the hitch height on your Itasca Sunova and the coupler height of your tow dolly.

  • Flat Towing a 2013 Wrangler Using D-Rings
  • Per the manufacturer the RedRock 4x4 Attack Stubby Winch Front Bumper is not tow rated. You can not flat tow your Jeep using this bumper and D-rings. If you decide on a bumper for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler that is tow rated, I recommend the following. If you are looking for a tow bar that has a coupler, the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX4330 with a 2" ball coupler is my suggestion. You can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper Adapter, # BX88357 for a 7/8" Pin or, # BX88358...

  • Dimensions and Weight Capacity of the Dutton-Lainson Trailer Coupler # DL13847
  • The Fulton Trailer Coupler, # F222500301, fits on a 2-1/2 inch square channel. So it will be 3/4 of an inch too tall. But since couplers have mounting holes on the top and sides, you could use the top holes if the tongue on the log splitter has matching mounting holes. Something like the Dutton-Lainson Trailer Coupler, # DL13847, might be more forgiving in terms of mounting than the Master Lock. I went out to the warehouse to measure the DL13847.
