Do We Have Adjustable 2-Ball Mounts For Class-2 Receivers?

Question:

Good morning. Is there any manufacturer that makes an adjustable receiver 2 ball for a Class II hitch? (Additional Information: 4-1/2" rise/fall with 1-7/8" and 2" ball.) Which are most popular sizes?

There are not 2-ball adjustable mounts in the configuration you need. but I have a couple of solutions.

As you mentioned, popular hitch ball sizes are 1-7/8", 2", and 2-15/16", but the largest would typically be seen on bigger trucks and trailers. The size ball you need will be determined by the coupler on your trailer. The coupler size will be metal stamped on it

You could consider using the TowSmart # 3481256 ball set that accommodates three sizes, and then you will need a ball mount like the Draw-Tite # 3594 with the requested 4-inch rise/drop. This still only accommodates either rise or fall, and then you have to torque down the ball each time that you switch from rise to fall.

If you were my neighbor, I would tell you to use the provided link to determine exactly what rise or drop you need, and the exact hitch ball you need for the thing you will tow and then buy that . THEN if you later need to tow something different, I would get another ball mount and hitch ball for that application. Having to remove and attach different balls onto different mounts will soon be a hassle that saving $40 was not worth.

You can email me anytime with your measurements to get specific recommendations for balls and mounts.

Also, review your owners manual for towing limitations. A class two hitch typically has a low towing capacity. If you need a wiring harness for trailer lighting I can help with that too.

Finally, take a peak at the Detail Brand # K2MMT4X6 mini utility trailer. This trailer is perfect for hauling home a new dishwasher, bags of mulch, or hauling all your camping gear out to the state park.
