R&P Service Insight
Ball mount fitment is measurement-driven. The right ball mount should keep the trailer level while matching the receiver opening, hitch pin diameter, trailer ball shank size, and towing rating of the complete setup.
- Receiver Check: Confirm the tow vehicle has a standard 2" x 2" receiver opening.
- Height Check: Use the 6" drop or 4-3/4" rise only if it gives the trailer a level towing position.
- Component Check: Match the trailer ball, hitch pin, receiver, and trailer rating to the intended towing load.

Installation Notes: Install with a properly rated 5/8" hitch pin and clip or compatible locking pin. Trailer ball is not included unless separately stated.

What This Means: This listing is for one R&P Carriages EMH6 ball mount, not a complete hitch kit with ball, pin, or clip unless specifically stated.
Before Ordering: Verify receiver size, required drop or rise, ball hole diameter, hitch pin diameter, trailer ball shank size, and the rated capacity of every towing component before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
When replacing or selecting a ball mount, do not match by capacity alone. A correct setup depends on receiver size, vertical height difference, ball shank size, and the rating of the tow vehicle, receiver, ball mount, hitch pin, trailer ball, and trailer coupler.
- Check the Receiver: This ball mount is for 2" x 2" receivers. Do not use it in a different receiver size without the proper rated equipment.
- Check the Ball: The ball hole is 1-1/4". Use a trailer ball with a matching 1-1/4" shank and proper towing rating.
- Check the Level: Measure loaded trailer coupler height and receiver height to confirm whether a 6" drop or 4-3/4" rise is appropriate.
