Extra Long Ball Mount At Least 15 Inches Long
Question:
I need a long ball mount so my tailgate on my truck will come down when hitched to trailer. I need a shank that is 2 that will go into my receiver 2.5 with sleeve to make it 2 inches. The pin in the receiver to the middle of the ball needs to be 15 inches at a minimum. This will allow me to my tailgate. What part numbers would meet my needs. Note I need 2 ball.

Expert Reply:
The longest 2 inch receiver compatible ball mount we offer is part # BM20 with a hitch pin hole to center of ball mounting hole distance of 13-1/4 inches. The ball mount has a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop and a 10,000 lb weight capacity. The ball mount has a 1 inch diameter ball mounting hole, for a 2 inch ball I'd recommend # 63845. If you needed a reducer sleeve, B&W offers a nice option as part # BWRHXA2182.
