I have used these before, come in drop sizes, and you can get them at local TSC. I never broke one pulling 20k worth of stone in a ez-dumper behind a tuned up duramax. I have also used it with a clevis to pull some pretty heavy rigs out of deep holes with long runs on 6" tow straps.

Anymore I just run a solid pintle hitch on a drop plate.

Well let me see if I can stir the pot here. Reese are made in China. Now I noticed even some Curts are now made in China. But compare the two in overall size and weight. Look at the welds. Curts are a lot heavier I wish I could remember were I got the one insert but it is a solid steel 2" insert with a 4" drop and not a hollow one. Watch your pin rating too.

Yep, but you can buy the bigger Roadmaster "cincher" at quiet it down a bit. I have the one for a 3" hitch as my Putnam 2" receiver has a big sleeve around the outside of it.

I used to love Tractor Supply Co, but now it seems it stands for Trashy S@#t from China. Sadly, so much is now made there it is hard to find USA made stuff. Still, it is worth the effort.

They make them for a 2" hitch and a 2.5" hitch. I put a couple spacers on it, and really torque it down with a breaker bar. On a recent 2500 mile towing round trip, it was still tight when I came home.

We have something that works well up here, and it's free for all Residents. Rust ! It fills the voids so well, you'll never be able to remove the ball mount. But, you don't have to worry about someone steeling it nor steeling the pin, cause if the pin is gone, the bll mount still won't come out.

Lol and Doh !

We use that rust stuff here too. The only downside is its always in and sooner or later you will forget it is until your knees remind you. OUCH!

I have a 2" Curt ball mount that is rated at 17k. It matches the rating of my Curt Class 5 extra Duty hitch.
Got it from etrailer.com
