Longest Drop Adjustable Ball Mount for a 2 Inch Receiver
Question:
I’m installing a receiver on my Kenworth. The bottom of the receiver will be 30 inches from the ground. If I get a GenY 15” hitch and still need more maybe 3” more, can I use another hitch?

Our longest drop hitch for a 2" receiver is going to be the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers item # 325-GH-318. This adjustable ball mount has a 17-1/2" drop and a 10,000 lbs capacity like the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount item # 325-GH-317 you were looking at. The 17-1/2" Gen-Y comes with the recommended stabilizer system as well.
You won't be able to add another ball mount to either of these drop hitches to gain the 3" or more you could possibly need so these will be your only options for the largest possible drop. The drop hitch isn't built for this function and will add unnecessary stress to both components.
