Ball Mount Recommendation for 7 inches of Drop
Question:
I need a 2inch ball mount to accommodate 7inch drop. If my options are a 6inch and 7-1/2inch ball mount which would be better to choose?
asked by: Tyler G
Expert Reply:
For a 7 inch drop ball mount the closest and best option will be the part # C45100. This is a 7-1/2 inch drop that would get you close enough to level to have the trailer towed safely. It's better to be a tiny bit to nose-down than nose-up as it's commonly the nose-up situations that cause sway.
For a 2 inch ball you would need part # 63845 or for a 2-5/16 inch ball the part # 63847.
