How to Flat Tow a Vehicle Level with a Car Mounted Tow Bar
Question:
I already have the 1021-1 mounts on the front of my tracker to which I attach a StowMaster towbar assembly. I want to increase my approach angle and decrease the towbar assembly weight by going to an RM-201 RoadMaster Quick Disconnect kit, and a RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar. Will it work??

Expert Reply:
It sounds like the problem you are trying to fix is that your tow bar does not sit level while your vehicle is being flat towed. Since you have a Roadmaster Stowmaster part # RM-501 that is a ball mount style tow bar all you would need to do level the setup would be to get the correct ball mount.
Without knowing what it would take to level your tow bar the best recommendation I can make would be to check out the help article I attached that details how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount for towing a trailer. It will apply differently for you since its for a flat towing setup, but the principals are the same.
