Can Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate be Used Only in Drop Position
Question:
Your description states this can be used in either a drop or rise position but Curts states drop only. Can you please clarify
asked by: Stephen
Expert Reply:
Yes I can; the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2" Hitches # C48239 can only be used in the drop position.
For something that can be used with a rise (up to 4-1/2 inches) you'd need the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2" Ball # BWTS20055 or B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook with 2-5/16" Ball # BWTS20056.
Both the Curt and B&W options do need to be secured to your hitch with either Pin & Clip # C21582 or Hitch Lock # 34061072-D.
