Can the Ark Articulating Coupler Be Used with an Adjustable Channel Mounting Ball Mount
Question:
Will this coupler work w/o interference with my curt adjustable channel
asked by: Kraig R
Expert Reply:
We haven't tested using an Ark Articulating Coupler # AR44FR with a Curt Adjustable ball mount like the # C45902 and I don't think this is going to work because of the limited clearance from the hitch ball to the channel. You'll instead want to use a ball mount with a drop like the # C45338 specifically for towing with the AR44FR, since it will allow the coupler to move freely.
I've linked an article on how to properly measure for a drop/rise ball mount to this answer in case you're not familiar with the process.
