Adjustable Ball Mount Recommendation for 2.5 inch Hitch that Doesnt Carry Lower Ball Below Platform
Question:
Is it possible to remove one of the balls from this mount? If not, do you sell a mount with just a 2inch ball? I need to haul a trailer with the mount all the way down in the bottom hole, and the 2nd ball is so much lower that it drags the ground a lot.

I have a great solution for you. Check out the Shocker Hitch XRC Cushioned Ball Mount for 2-1/2 inch hitches part # SHK94RR. This gives you 7-1/2" drop, so a little less than the Fastway kit, but since it does not carry the extra ball below the ball mount platform you have much better ground clearance. It also comes with a 20,000 pound capacity, so it is higher rated than the Fastway.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to remove the lower ball from the Fastway kit you mentioned.
