Ball Mount Hitch Adjustable 6 Inch Drop/Rise - Dual Ball Tow

In this review the Ball Mount Hitch Adjustable 6 Inch Drop/Rise is evaluated as a practical towing accessory for drivers who need a versatile, rust-resistant ball mount for a 2 in receiver. The bottom line is that this unit is best for owners of trucks, SUVs, RVs, and utility vehicles who tow a variety of trailers and need quick height adjustments; its single biggest advantage is the combination of an adjustable 6 in drop/rise in 2 in increments plus dual chrome balls that cover 2 in and 2-5/16 in couplers. The package also includes two 5/8 in hitch locks for security, making it a complete, ready-to-install solution.

Key Features

• Adjustable 6 in Drop/Rise: Allows changing the ball mount in 2 in steps so trailers can be towed level without fabricating shims or buying multiple mounts.
• Dual Chrome Balls Included: Comes with 2 in and 2-5/16 in balls so it fits most common trailer couplers without swapping balls on the road.
• 10,000 lb Capacity: Rated for up to 10,000 lb GTW with a 1,000 lb max tongue weight per ball, suitable for many light- and medium-duty towing tasks.
• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Body: The oxidized aluminum finish resists rust and keeps the mount lightweight while maintaining strength for repeated towing use.
• Security Locks Included: Two 5/8 in hitch locks are supplied to secure the mount in a 2 in receiver and deter theft when parked.
• Chrome Plated Hardware: Balls and locking pin are chrome plated steel for corrosion resistance and easier coupling in wet conditions.

Who It's For

The Ball Mount Hitch is aimed at owners of trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs, and tractors who regularly tow different trailers, boats, or utility loads and want a single mount that adjusts from a 6 in drop to a 6 in rise. It suits users who value corrosion resistance and a lightweight but strong construction for frequent installation and removal.

Those who require higher tongue weight capacity, custom shank lengths, or receiver sizes other than 2 in should look elsewhere; heavy commercial towing rigs and specialty trailers may need a purpose-built or higher-capacity fixed mount designed to certified commercial towing standards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Versatile height adjustment in 2 in increments simplifies leveling across different trailers.
• Dual 2 in and 2-5/16 in balls eliminate the need to carry separate ball mounts or change balls frequently.
• Aluminum body with oxidized finish offers strong, lightweight construction that resists rust.
• Includes two 5/8 in hitch locks for added security when the mount is stored or left on the vehicle.

Cons

• Rated tongue weight is 1,000 lb per ball which may be limiting for some heavier tongue loads; users must confirm compatibility with their trailer.
• Only fits 2 in receivers, so owners of other receiver sizes will need an adapter or different mount.
