Expert Reply:
I have a few options depending on the amount you will be towing and how adjustable you want to hitch to be for other trailers. First is the Curt RockerBall Anti-Rattle Towing Kit # C63KR. This uses a standard style ball mount with a cushioned 2" hitch ball. This will be set at the 3" height and is not adjustable but is the most economical of the choices.
The Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount # 325-GH-12005 is a cushioned mount. It does allow you to bolt the bracket from a 0-6" drop and can be used on trailers up to 7,000lbs with 700lbs of tongue weight. You will need to add a 2" # 40038 or 2-5/16" # 63847 hitch ball to match your coupler.
Finally the Shocker Hitch HD Air Cushioned 2-Ball Mount # SHK95VR is our premium option. This system uses an air helper spring to adjust the cushioning based on trailer weight and driver preference. This includes both a 2" and 2-5/16" adjustable ball which can be positioned up to 3-1/2" of drop.
