Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

Trailer Hitch Ball Mount

Trailer hitch ball mounts are the connection point between your vehicle's receiver hitch and your trailer's coupler. The ball mount slides into the receiver tube and holds the hitch ball that the trailer coupler latches onto. Selecting the correct ball mount height and drop ensures the trailer sits level during towing for optimal handling and brake function. Ball mounts are available in fixed, adjustable, and weight distribution configurations. Fixed ball mounts are the most common and come in a range of drops and rises to match different vehicle-to-trailer height combinations. Adjustable ball mounts allow repositioning the ball location without purchasing multiple units. Hitch balls are available in standard sizes including 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, and 2-5/16 inch diameters, matching specific trailer coupler sizes. Ball shank diameter and length must also match the hole in the ball mount. Always use the correct ball size as specified by the trailer manufacturer. Tongue weight and gross trailer weight ratings on the ball mount must meet or exceed the trailer's rated weights. Never exceed the ball mount's rated capacity. Verify receiver class and shank size compatibility before use. GBP Performance carries a wide selection of ball mounts, hitch balls, and ball mount kits for standard 1.25-inch and 2-inch receivers. Browse by drop, ball size, and weight class to find the correct setup for your vehicle and trailer combination.
