Expert Answers about Clevis Hitch


  • Recommended 2-Tang Clevis for 3 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • It sounds like you are looking for a 2-Tang clevis hitch for the 3" receiver on your vehicle. Since there is no 3" option I recommend the Gen-Y 2-Tang Clevis for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers - 21,000 lbs # 325-GH-069. Along with this clevis hitch you will need the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeves - 3" to 2-1/2" or 2" # C45408. This adapter will allow you to use the clevis hitch with your 3" receiver.

  • How to Use Safety Chains on a Gooseneck Trailer
  • For a safety chain that will be sufficient for most gooseneck trailers I really like the Fulton Safety Chain with Clevis Hook part # FCHA0050324. This safety chain has a grade 70 rating with large clevis hook. You will need two of them for your trailer. The end opposite of the clevis hook will attach to the nose of a trailer via a bolt and the clevis hook will attach to the gooseneck hitch you have in your truck bed. Almost all gooseneck hitches will have a set of holes that can be used...

  • Recommended Ball Mount With Clevis For ATV Towing
  • A hitch ball will give you better control for backing up your travel trailer with your ATV. I recommend the Curt Ball Mount for 2" ATV Hitches - 2" Ball and Clevis Bar - 1/4" Rise # C45009. This will give you the clevis as well as a 2 inch ball for your application. If you need the entire system, I recommend the Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit - 2" Receiver - 6" Long Ball Mount - 2" Hitch Ball # C45038.

  • Recommended Ball Mount with 2 Inch Rise and 2 Inch Ball for ATV Hitch
  • The Curt Class III Drawbar - 2" Rise - 4" Drop - 13" Long - 7,500 lbs # C45270 is a longer ball mount with a 2 inch rise that will work well. The 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/4" Long Shank - Chrome - 12,000 lbs # 40038 would also be a great fit. You won't get the clevis bar with this option but it is the only upgrade from the # C45009.

  • B and W Tow and Stow Ball Mount Recommendation that Has Pintle Hook
  • The Clevis Adapter part # BWTS35100B that you referenced can be installed on the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10050B that you referenced. However, this adapter is not designed for use with a pintle setup. A better solution would be for you to go with the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball # BWTS10056 if you also need to tow a trailer with a lunette ring.
