Expert Answers about Chevrolet Drop Hitch

• How to Reduce a 2.5" Hitch to a 2" Hitch Receiver While Also Providing Drop
• If I am following you correctly, I think what you are looking for is a drop hitch that has a 2.5" shank for your truck and then the part that drops is a 2" receiver. So essentially a hitch reducer that also supplies a drop. If that is correct, we do have a couple options. - Gen-Y Phantom X Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # GY35XR (up to a 5" Drop) - Gen-Y Phantom X Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # GY95XR (up to a 7-1/2" Drop) Your other option would be to use a reducer sleeve like the Curt Hitch Receiver...

• Needing a Weight Distribution Hitch That Will Provide for a 3 Inches of More Drop
• The hitch shank that you currently have, 63970, has been replaced by Reese Hitch Shank # RP54970. This hitch shank will provide 2 inches of drop using round bars and 1-/14 inch drop using trunnion bar on your weight distribution system. The Curt Hitch Shank, # 17120, will increase the drop on round bars to 6-1/8 inches. If you use the trunnion bars, then the drop will increase to 5-3/4 inches. This shank will give you the 3 inch additional drop you are looking for on your towing rig.

• Correct Cushioned Ball Mount For 4-1/2" to 5-1/2" Drop For 2" Hitch
• For a drop between 4-1/2" and 5-1/2" use the Cushioned Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4-3/4" Rise - 6" Drop # AMSC6. This will fit your 2" hitch and the only other things you will need are the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19260 OR 2" Hitch Ball # 63845 with Hitch Lock # e98880 OR Hitch Pin and Clip # 37201074.

• How To Get Bulletproof Hitches Ball Mount With 4 Inch Drop/Rise & 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball
• While there is a way to add the use of a 1-7/8" hitch ball, the BulletProof hitch we offer with a 4" rise/drop comes with the 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball, the BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 4" Drop/Rise # MD204. To add the use of a 1-7/8" hitch ball you'd need to add the 2-Ball Platform for BulletProof Hitches Adjustable Ball Mounts - 1-7/8" and 2-5/16" Balls # 358178ball. The only other option for an adjustable ball mount with a 4 inch drop with 1-7/8" and 2"...

• Dual Hitch Receiver for Use with Tow Dolly
• I do have an option for you but they do not make the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210 with a 4" drop. Instead, I recommend taking a look at the Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount part # 325-GH-303 which can be used as a dual hitch receiver and will allow for you to obtain either a 5" rise/drop, 2-1/2" rise/drop, or 0" rise/drop. We do not have any dual hitch receivers that can be used for a tow dolly and will allow for a 4" drop.

• Weight Distribution Shank For 2 Inch Hitch With More Than 2 Inches of Drop
• Absolutely; weight distribution shanks are interchangeable, and since most come with just a max of 2 - 3 inches of drop, a lot of people find themselves needing more than that. So for a shank that fits a 2 inch hitch, and has more than 2 or 3 inches of drop, you can choose from a number of options, depending on the drop you do need. Keep in mind the maximum drop will depend on if your weight distribution hitch is a round bar or trunnion bar system, but here are your options: - Maximum...

• Can Dual Hitch Adapter be Used for Flat Towing & Bike Rack
• Yes, you can use a dual hitch adapter for flat towing and carrying a bike rack at the same time. You just need the one with the correct rise or drop, and you can choose from the following: - 2" or 4" Drop/Rise: Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 - 2" or 6" Drop/Rise: Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6 - 2" or 8" Drop/Rise: Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-8 - 2" or 10" Drop/Rise: Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-10 Then to...

• Ball Mount For 2 Inch Hitch With 13 to 14 Inches of Drop
• While we do have a solution for you, there isn't an adapter like the Curt # C27KR that can be used to attach a ball mount; that is something used for flat towing and you can't safely use a ball mount inside an adapter inside a trailer hitch. So for towing your travel trailer what you will need instead is a ball mount that has the 13 to 14 inches of drop required to tow level. For your 2 inch hitch there is one option available with the correct drop, from BulletProof Hitches: - BulletProof...

• Ball Mount with 7-1/2 Inch Drop For 2 Inch Receiver
• For reasons unknown, Curt actually rounds up to the nearest number for advertising their ball mount, which is confusing, but the true drop is 7-1/2 inches for the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45100. So this ball mount will work to get the drop you are looking for; along with the ball mount you will need a pin and clip or lock as well as a hitch ball. The complete list of parts is the following: - Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 6-1/4" Rise, 7-1/2" Drop # C45100 - 1-7/8" Hitch Ball...

• Aftermarket vs Factory Hitch Strength on 1999 Chevy Suburban
• The Curt # C14029 is a Class IV hitch with a 10,000 lb capacity like you mentioned; the difference in capacities often comes down to construction, design and attachment points. In regards to the correct hitch and ball mount for your towing capacity and drop, the previously mentioned Curt # C14029 would be a great choice. As for ball mount for different amounts of drop, I recommend the Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount Kit - 2 Zinc Balls - 5-1/2" Drop, 6-1/2" Rise Item # AM3411....

• Longest Drop Adjustable Ball Mount for a 2 Inch Receiver

• Best Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver for a Bluebird Bus
• We do have a Class V trailer hitch receiver that will fit the frame rails of your 2009 Bluebird bus, although they are all weld-on applications as there isn't an option for a heavy-duty hitch that is bolt-on. The options are either a 3" drop or a 7" drop: - 3" Drop: Curt Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch and Brackets # 15901 - 7" Drop: Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V # 41990-07 I have added links to the installation instructions of...

• Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter For Tow Dolly And Bike Rack
• We do have a dual hitch receiver adapter that will allow you to use your tow dolly while also carrying your bike rack. The only thing you need to know is the amount of rise or drop you'll need, which will allow you to choose the right one. To determine this, just measure from the ground to the top of your motorhome's receiver, and then measure from the ground to the bottom of your dolly's coupler, and the difference you get is the rise or drop you'll require. If your motorhome's hitch...

• What Ball Mount to Use With no Drop
• I applaud your creativity and that'll work but we can simplify it for you as well. Since you have only 1/8" drop you can just use a ball mount with no drop (or rise) so you don't have to put together multiple parts: - Curt Hollow Shank 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" and 2-5/16" Balls # C45002 This is a straight ball mount with no rise or drop, and since it only has 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls if you need a 1-7/8" ball instead you could use the tri-ball mount # C62KR. Along with either...

• 2006 E-450 Super Duty Shuttle Bus Trailer Hitch Receiver
• For your 2006 Ford F-450 Shuttle Bus you are going to need to use a universal hitch. For this you will need to measure how wide your frame rails are apart on the rear of your bus. Then you will need to know how much drop from the frame rails to the bottom of the bumper is required for the hitch to fit. The Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # C47CR will fit frames that are 18"-44" wide and brackets have a 9" drop. The Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # C99CR will also fit frame...

• Hitch Extension For 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver To Use With Camper With 23 Inch Overhang
• The Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 24" to 34" Long # C45048 is the best extension we carry for your need. However, it is limited to 6,000 lbs when extended 24 inches, so it will not work for your application. You will need to go with the Superhitch. If you let me know your model year, I can give you a recommendation.
