Bolt Hole Pattern on Dutton-Lainson Model 970 and 980 Trailer Couplers

Question:

I have a D-L Model 970, 1 7/8 Ball for 3 in channel. I would like to move to a 2 inch ball model. Does the DL13800 have the same bolt hole layout as the DL Model 970?

We do not carry the model 970 you referred to, but my representative at Dutton-Lainson tells me that although the part # DL13800 (which is their model 980) is a bit longer than the # DL13800, both use the same bolt hole pattern or layout. You should have no problem swapping out the couplers.
