How to select a hitch ball mount Three factors to consider There are three main things to consider when selecting a trailer hitch ball mount: how much weight you are going to be towing, what size receiver tube your trailer hitch has and how much drop or rise your ball mount will need (below). Trailer weight vs capacity First, be sure to select a ball mount with enough gross trailer weight capacity to fit your trailer. Trailer weight is one of the most important aspects of towing, and you should never exceed the weight capacity of any component of your vehicle, trailer or trailer hitch setup. Hitch receiver size Next, determine what size shank you will need. Receiver tubes come in a handful of standard sizes, including 1-1/4, 2, 2-1/2 and sometimes 3 inches, so finding a ball mount to match is relatively easy. How to determine drop or rise After you know how much weight you will be towing and the size of your receiver tube, you will need to determine the drop or rise necessary for your trailer. Drop or rise is the amount of height difference between the trailer and your tow vehicle, whether that difference is positive (rise) or negative (drop). The diagram offers a quick explanation for how to determine your needed drop or rise. Take the distance from the ground to the top of the inside of your receiver tube opening (A), and subtract it from the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler (B). B minus A equals C, the drop or rise.

Class II Trailer Hitch Receivers: Designed for light-duty towing - Are rated up to 3,500 lbs GTW and 350 lbs TW - 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver hitch opening - Will work with Class I and Class II accessories, such as bike racks, cargo carriers. Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers: Designed for trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles - 2" x 2" receiver hitch opening - Rated up to 6,000 lbs GTW with 600 lbs TW - Allows for more gear to be carried or towed Works with all Class III accessories. **Q: Is this item easy to install ? (nissan altima)** A: Yes, as stated below, the Ball Mount with Ball just slides into the receiver. Installing the receiver is not really complicated but it takes time and you need someone or something to hold up one end as you bolt up the other. It's supposed to be a 1/2 hour job with two people, i think it took me 45-60 minutes by myself. I wasn't really keeping time though. **Q: Does anyone know if you can mount this upside down to gain height?** A: Yes. You get a 1/2" rise by flipping it vs a 2.5" drop not flipping it. Be warned:It's really tight. I used a Reese hitch ball wrench (pn 74342 for sale on Amazon), and some large channel lock pliers. You only need a vice if the receiver is not installed. otherwise you can put the mount into the receiver sideways, put the wrench on the nut and carefully jump on the wrench a few times. once the wrench moved, I was able to use the channel lock pliers to hold the ball in place while I continued loosening the nut with the wrench. **Q: need to fit a 1997 F150 van** A: Fits all 2" receivers. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well done CURT *by S***F on 13 March 2026* After ordering this item twice it's finally arrived and I am very impressed with the quality and the material of this sexy little CURT 7,500 LBS it's plenty for what I need strongly recommended.
