Draw-Tite Ball Mounts - Fixed Ball Mount - 4283 Review Video

What you could do is use the center pin on a 7-Way and instead of having the reverse light circuit on that pin you could remove the wire that is there and run a 10 gauge wire, such as #10-1-1 sold by the foot, from it up to the truck battery via a…

Breakaway batteries shouldn't power other accessories even if the battery is larger. You really need the breakaway battery to be topped off at all times in case you need it. If you were to power other accessories you run risk of it being…

To charge the battery in the Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit, #20099, you can attach the wire from the 12 volt circuit on the trailer side 7-Way (1 oclock position on the back of the trailer side 7-Way where the wires attach) to the input wire on the…

Since the Curt Hi Rise Hitch ball part #C40034 is designed for a 1 inch diameter hitch ball hole you'd need the hitch ball bushing part #58184 to use it with the Curt ball mount #C45338 that you have.

If you put on a Hitch Extender #HE06 you will reduce your trailering capacity to 350lbs tongue weight and 3,500 total trailer weight. Most of the receiver extensions with that much rise include a gusset for strength that may prevent the Curt Clamp-On…

Brophy hitch ball #SC23-C is made overseas. For a stainless steel option that is made in the US you would have to go to an interchangeable set, #903B. I have linked a video review of this set for you.

You are correct about ball mount #EA80. The ball platform is indeed 1 inch thick. The 2 inch ball #63852 does not have a long enough shank to be used with this ball mount. You will need a 2 inch ball with a long shank such as #63849. It isn't…

Any time you are not sure what rise or drop you might need to tow a trailer level it is a good idea to use an adjustable ball mount. The same goes for the ball size needed though most trailers in the sizes you are looking at will have a 2-5/16 inch…

For a 2-inch ball mount rated for 12,000-lbs that has 8-inches of drop we offer two options you can see on the linked page. Part #4283 from Draw-Tite provides 7-inches of rise or 8-inches of drop, as does Curt #C45448. Both take a hitch ball, sold…

I recommend the Curt Ball Mount #C45338. This ball mount offers a 7 inch rise, which will put you within an inch of level. This ball mount will fit 2 inch hitch receivers and has a gross towing capacity of 10,000 pounds and a tongue weight capacity…

The towing and tongue weight capacity of the Curt Ball Mount #C45338 does not change if you use it in the rise position; it has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 lbs and towing capacity of 10,000 lbs no matter if you use it to get 8-1/4 inches of…
