Yup...love it and it has served my needs well for a couple of years now. I have the 2'' and flip it over to the 2 5/16" ball. Pricey but well made and the last one you'll ever need to buy. Don't forget to buy the locks for it too...

I agree with pricey.I found a place that has the 6 inch adjustable drop with flip over 2 inch and 2 5/16 ball for $179.00 shipped and the locks are $39.00.They look very well made to me.Thanks for the info,coobie.

That's actually a great price...mine was around $200 + $40 FOR THE LOCKS

Have you considered one of these? Adjustable Tri-Ball Hitch | Tri-Ball | Northern Tool + Equipment

It's not aluminum, and is heavy...I know I own one and am happy with it. I don't tow often, and when I do it is usually something from the rental yard. This takes care of the height and ball size issue in one unit. The heaviest thing I've towed with this ball mount is a mini excavator.

Like others have said...don't forget the lock.

I have the B&W tri ball and I'm very happy with it. I'm in road salt country and the hitch has held up better than any other I've used. It's rated at 10k and I've gone beyond that with my dump trailer and an excessive loader operator and the hitch didn't let me down. Not aluminum but worth a look.
