How low can the ball be adjusted to? I want to make sure it can fit in my small trailer.

Peggy: Unfortunately I just gave away the dolly but I would guess that the minimum height of from the ground to the top of the ball is 24". A welder could easily cut it down. I don't know why they made them so high as it really impacts negatively of the stability of a trailer when moving it. (Maybe, in China, they have very tall trailers!) It is otherwise a very good, sturdy product - the best I've seen. The tires are solid rubber, I think, so I can't imagine that they would ever go flat no matter what the "tongue weight" of your trailer.

You will need to use it to raise up to the trailer. So the positions are up. Then measure and make sure your trailer is level

Hello, Mine is adjusted to 48 inches (21 inches under the boat to the trailer cross support, then an angled 27 inches to the lower unit. The installation instructions say it is adjustable from 26 to 56 inches. Graham

No I don't think it will, the trailer is kind of narrow. But you can try it.

Bring the hitch into your local hardware store or Walmart and find one that fits in it. I found mine at Meijer, 2" ball for $6.99 the auto stores I notice charge double or triple what you can get them. I'm sure Amazon has the correct size, but I didn't want to wait.

I think it requires a long 3/4" diameter shank. The shank is the threaded bolt beneath the ball. Balls have either a 3/4" diam or 1" diam shank. Yours is probably 1" diam. Get a 2.5" or 3" long shank that is 3/4" diameter and it will fit.

I mounted my pintle hook in the center of the mounting plate. At that position the top of the 2" ball is dead even with the top of the 2" tube. If you move it up you will gain an inch or at the bottom it will lower it an inch.

First I bought this item and returned it as it was not a 2". Probably my mistake. I Purchased a similar item from a local trailer dealer. It has a 6" drop measuring from the top of the bar to the base of the ball mount. Warning: if you want USA made, make sure it states USA on the label AND that is the item you are receiving.

I have a 27' travel trailer. Had the same problem with the fit, so I had to move the spare & mount it on to the frame of the trailer right behind the hitch. Works great.

It should be tight (or the ball wouldn't bounce back very far at all) but will fit right if you have it and the straps on right. Look at the picture and make sure you aren't doing anything wrong. You may want to try all of the corners first and then fill in the sides.

I have the same problem...a small travel trailer (TT) with a spare tire setup that slides into the receiver on the back of the TT. I bought this to accomplish the same thing you're looking for. Unfortunately, the diameter of the TT spare wheel itself extends too far down and blocks access to the lower receiver. I purchased another adapter to accommodate a fold-down ramp with a 2" tongue (200lb capacity) - and simply use the ramp to carry my small Honda generator and fuel tank. John

The hitch is mounted to the rear axle, so the connection point will be about five inches closer to the ground with the smaller wheels and the bottom of the trailer will be slightly tilted forward. I do not think this is a serious problem or indeed a problem at all.

Not adjustable but the ball return ramp is positioned so that it shouldn't be a problem. It was helpful.

Hello Frisco! I honestly dont know the answer to this question. We have a 12" ball that is super duper light but I'm fairly certain that is could have handled a larger ball if i was light. Hope that helps!

Just threw a tape on my trailer and came up with 5' (outside to outside), maybe 62" to be generous. There is a 'bit' of slack but doubt if enough to accommodate your axles. Better get the next bigger size.

As far as I understand it's a standard thirty inches, which does not adjust any lower, maybe you want to cut the feet or play around with it yourselfJust study the picture see if can be played around with. eliot

It sits on top of the hitch. and you just screw your ball into the top of it, so it should fit most sizes.
