However, the Performance Tool Vehicle and Trailer Aligner is not deigned to attach directly to the top of the hitch ball but rather just behind it. The Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit is made of aluminum which is also not magnetic but you could...

  • The Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment Systems save for the part # 04928 (SH01) all use the same camera. The only difference is in regards to the number of cameras included, battery life, and monitor type. The SHO1 system uses an analog system as opposed to a digital system on the other three. The Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment System part SH02 was replaced by the part # SH02DIGITAL which comes with one camera, has an 8 hour battery life, and uses its own monitor....

  • Will Loaded Hitch Bike Rack Interfere with Operation of Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002
  • The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner # HM50002 that you referenced does have two modes - backup camera and hitch aligner - and the set of sensors that activate it do not have adjustment capability to alter their effective trigger point. These distances are pre-set. As you note a loaded bike rack will likely fool the sensors. This will to a degree vary based on the exact size and nature of the bikes. In your application a better solution may be a camera system that can...

  • Backup Camera Recommendation that Can be Used for Hitch Alignment
  • The camera angle of the K-Source Vision System Backup Camera # KSVS-8 that you referenced can be pointed pretty far down but it really depends on the location of the license plate relative to the hitch, if there's a portion of the bumper that would get in the way, and the length of your ball mount etc. If you check out the picture I attached you can see the camera pointed down pretty far which would capture the hitch ball on the monitor but it looks like the step bumper would interfere....

  • Anti rattle and Hitch Alignment Pin For 2 Inch Hitch Accessories
  • We have designed different products to solve a specific problem, but not all at once. For all your attachments that do not have a threaded hitch pin hole, we use this anti rattle device # e99007.

  • How To Use the Light-Up Telescoping Hitch Aligner with an Aluminum Ball Mount
  • In order to use the Easy-Hitch Light-Up, Telescoping Hitch Aligner part # JE00600 with either your Weigh Safe Aluminum Ball Mount or Rapid Hitch Aluminum Ball Mount you will need to either place the aligner directly atop the hitch ball or on the receiver tube between the bumper and ball mount (see photo). The aligner however will not be able to be attached to the shank because it has a magnetic base that will not work with aluminum. If the above will not work for you then your only other...

  • Is etrailer Spare Tire Carrier e98ZR Comparable To Curt c31006?
  • The etrailer # e98ZR is comparable to the Curt # c31006 you'd mentioned, but I'd stick with the etrailer version. The reason for this is the etrailer version comes with a hitch aligner so that the hitch pin hole always aligns perfectly, and it uses an anti-rattle hitch pin to keep the carrier from moving around. In comparison the Curt version uses a standard hitch pin with no anti-rattle, and no hitch aligner. Both work with the same bolt patterns/wheel sizes, so you're not giving anything...
