Adjustable Cushioned Shocker Hitch With 2 Ball For a 2 Receiver With 4 of Drop

Question

Question:

I need an adjustable hitch that fits a 2inch receiver. I only need 3 - 4inch of drop and am interested in the shocker hitch. My trailer weight is 3k and tongue weight is 350lbs. I want something that gives me the most ground clearance and only need a 2inch ball. What do you recommend?

Since you mentioned the Shocker Hitch I am assuming that you are wanting a cushioned hitch. The Shocker XRC Cushioned Adjustable Drop Ball Mount with 2" Ball # SHK22ZR is adjustable from 4-1/2" to 7-1/2" of drop. This will only have the one 2" hitch ball.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…
