Weigh Safe

Weigh Safe is a towing brand, and the range here is ball mounts and drop hitches, with a smaller group of towing accessories, hitches, gooseneck and fifth-wheel parts. Most of the parts are listed as universal, since a drop hitch fits the receiver rather than a specific truck.

The key choices are written into the titles. Drop height, such as 6-inch, 8-inch and 10-inch, sets how far the ball sits below the receiver. Shank size, such as 2-inch, 2.5-inch and 3-inch, has to match the receiver on the truck. Ratings are listed in the title in thousands, for example 10K, and the weight rating shown there is the limit for that part. Some are listed with a ball or a pintle hook included, and some come with no ball.

To choose, first match the shank to your receiver. Then measure how far the receiver sits from the ground against the height of your trailer coupler, and pick a drop that levels the trailer. Make sure the rating covers your trailer's weight and tongue weight. True Tow weight distribution hitches are listed in the same range, and a wheel chock set is listed too.
