R&P Service Insight
When choosing a ball mount, the receiver size is only one part of the fitment check. The drop, ball shank size, coupler height, and tow rating must all match the towing setup.
- Check receiver size: This ball mount uses a 2" shank for compatible 2" receiver hitches.
- Match the ball: Use a trailer ball with a 1-1/4" shank to match the ball hole.
- Confirm ratings: The vehicle, receiver hitch, ball mount, hitch ball, and trailer must all be rated for the load being towed.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: For compatible 2" receiver hitch applications where a 4" drop and 1-1/4" ball hole are required.
Vehicle / System Fit: Used in trailer towing setups with receiver-style hitch systems.
Installation Notes: Verify the receiver opening, hitch pin size, trailer ball shank diameter, and required ball height before installation.
Performance Insight: A properly selected drop ball mount helps keep the trailer level, which supports better towing geometry and weight distribution.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages
Application Reference: Class V and 2" receiver references describe towing application fitment only.
What This Means: This listing is for one R&P Carriages ball mount, not a complete hitch kit unless specifically stated.
Before Ordering: Verify receiver size, drop requirement, ball hole size, tow rating, tongue weight rating, and included components before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
Most ball mount fitment issues come from mismatched height, incorrect ball shank diameter, or using a component below the required towing rating.
- Height Check: Measure tow vehicle receiver height and trailer coupler height to confirm whether a 4" drop is correct.
- Ball Hole Check: Confirm the trailer ball has a 1-1/4" shank before pairing it with this ball mount.
- Load Rating Check: Never exceed the lowest-rated component in the towing system.
