Operation of Anti-Rattle Function on Diversi-Tech Solid-Tow Adjustable Ball Mount # DTSTBM6800-2S  

Question:

Hi. I am thinking of buying this to install on my 2005 dodge 2500. The distance from the center of the hole for my hitch pin to the opening on the 2x2 Reciever is 3.0inches. With the 4.25inch dimension on this ball mount, will the anti rattle mechanism engage properly in my receiver? If not, is there an identical product with a shorter dimension than 4.25? Thanks!

The Diversi-Tech Solid-Tow Adjustable Ball Mount # DTSTBM6800-2S will work properly in the 2-inch hitch on your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500. The anti-rattle pin that extends up from the top surface of the shank will still have enough of the receiver tube to press against to stabilize the shank. Actually, the further to the rear of the hitch pin hole that the anti-rattle pin sits the more leverage it will have to exert pressure on the inside of the receiver tube.

The linked video will illustrate the features and operation of this unique and versatile USA-made ball mount.
