Towing Starter Kit (6" Drop)

Get towing today with this 6" Drop Towing Starter Kit. Everything you need — a drop ball mount, a chrome trailer ball, a bent hitch pin, and an R-clip — arrives pre-assembled and ready to slide into your 2" receiver.

The 6-inch drop positions the ball well below the receiver height, giving you a level, stable ride on lifted trucks and SUVs or when towing trailers with low couplers. Choose your ball size — 1-7/8", 2", or 2-5/16" — to match your trailer coupler. The polished chrome ball couples smoothly and resists corrosion, while the black powder-coated mount stands up to weather and road salt.

Rated for 8,000 lbs GTW, this kit is a perfect match for boat trailers, camping trailers, utility/cargo trailers, and ATV haulers. Installation takes seconds: slide the mount into your receiver, drop in the bent pin, clip it shut, and you are ready to go. No shopping for separate parts, no guesswork on compatibility — just open the box and tow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What ball size should I choose?

A: Check the stamped size on your trailer coupler. Capacity by ball size: 1-7/8" ball = 2,000 lbs GTW (small utility trailers, jet skis); 2" ball = 6,000 lbs GTW (boat trailers, campers, utility trailers); 2-5/16" ball = up to 8,000 lbs GTW on this mount (heavy campers, equipment trailers). The coupler size is stamped near the latch on your trailer tongue — never mix ball and coupler sizes.

Q: What comes in this kit?

A: The kit includes a 6" drop ball mount, a pre-installed chrome trailer ball (your selected size) with nut and washer, a bent L-shaped hitch pin, and an R-clip.

Q: How much can it tow?

A: The mount is rated 8,000 lbs GTW / 800 lbs tongue weight, but the actual capacity depends on the ball size you select: 1-7/8" ball = 2,000 lbs; 2" ball = 6,000 lbs; 2-5/16" ball = 8,000 lbs (mount limit). Always respect the lowest rating in your towing setup, including your vehicle receiver and trailer coupler.

Q: Will it fit my truck?

A: The shank fits any standard 2" x 2" Class III receiver. The 6" drop is ideal for lifted trucks and SUVs where the receiver sits high above the trailer coupler.

Q: Is the ball already installed?

A: Yes. Your selected chrome ball is pre-installed on the mount with the nut and washer. You can tow immediately after sliding it into your receiver.

Q: Is a hitch pin included?

A: Yes. A bent L-shaped hitch pin and R-clip are included. You can upgrade to a locking hitch pin separately if desired.

Q: What is the 6-inch drop for?

A: The 6" drop positions the ball 6 inches below the receiver height. This levels the trailer on lifted trucks and SUVs, or when towing trailers with very low couplers. Measure your receiver height and trailer coupler height to confirm 6" drop gives a level ride.

Q: Can I swap the ball later?

A: Yes, the ball can be removed with a wrench and replaced with another ball of the correct shank diameter.

Q: What is your return policy?

A: Unused, uninstalled products in original packaging can be returned within [30 days] of delivery.

Specifications & SKU Information

Ball Size Variants — Capacity Breakdown:

Note: The mount itself is rated 8,000 lbs GTW / 800 lbs tongue weight. The actual safe towing capacity is always the LOWEST rating among the ball, the mount, your vehicle receiver, and the trailer coupler. For the 2-5/16" ball, the ball is rated 10,000 lbs but this mount limits you to 8,000 lbs. For 1-7/8" and 2" balls, the ball itself is the limiting factor.

Important: The product label states MAX LOAD 8,000 lbs and TONGUE WT. 800 lbs. The actual rating depends on which ball variant is selected. Never exceed the lowest rating in your towing system.

Disclaimer & Safety Warning

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS before installation and use. Failure to follow safety warnings may result in serious injury or death.
NEVER exceed the lowest weight rating of any component in your towing system — your vehicle receiver, this ball mount, the ball, the coupler, or the trailer itself.
Do not exceed 8,000 lbs GTW or 800 lbs tongue weight for this mount. The ball rating varies: 1-7/8" ball = 2,000 lbs, 2" ball = 6,000 lbs, 2-5/16" ball = 8,000 lbs on this mount. Never exceed the rating of the ball actually in use.
Before towing, be sure the ball is tight and the ball mount is secured in the receiver with the hitch pin and safety clip.
Always use the correct ball size for your trailer coupler. Mismatched ball and coupler sizes can cause the trailer to separate.
Always attach safety chains between the vehicle and the trailer, crossed under the coupler.
Do not exceed your vehicle's Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) or the towing capacity in your owner's manual.
Check trailer lights, brakes, and tire pressure before every trip.
Alteration, welding, grinding, or misuse voids the warranty and creates a safety hazard.
The manufacturer and seller are not liable for property damage, personal injury, or death resulting from misuse, overloading, improper installation, or failure to follow instructions.
