I'm not sure what part you are referring to as the movable half. If you are talking about the sleeve and spring loaded clamp that fit around the hitch ball, you will need to replace the coupler. For a 2 inch ball, you will need something like the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch - 2" Ball - 3" Channel Tongue - 5,000 lbs, # BD028382 or for the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball something like the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 3" Tongue - 12,500 lbs, # BD028462.

If you just need the latch, the Bulldog High-Profile Latch Repair Kit for Heavy-Duty Collar-Lok Couplers # BD024200 is the route to go.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Either way is correct. It depends on if you want to keep the semi-style 7-Way (if you need to tow that type of trailer) or if you will never be towing a semi-trailer. If you need to keep the 7-Way semi active on the truck, then you would need to make…
