Adjustable Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab 6000 lb

The Adjustable Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab 6000 lb from REESE is a heavy-duty hitch shank bar engineered for truck owners and enthusiasts who demand precision towing control. This 2-inch hitch receiver component delivers a 12-inch shank with a 5-1/4-inch drop, rated for 6000 lb tongue weight capacity—making it ideal for utility trailers, boat haulers, and mid-size equipment transport. Whether you're upgrading from a basic hitch or building a towing-ready platform, this mount provides the adjustability and stability modern hauling demands.

Built from steel with a durable black powder-coat finish, the Adjustable Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tab 6000 lb resists corrosion and road salt degradation that shortens component life on daily-driven rigs. The integrated sway control tab reduces trailer sway during crosswind conditions and lane changes, critical for maintaining vehicle stability under load—especially important when towing higher-profile trailers or navigating crowded highways. The adjustable design allows fine-tuning of ball height to achieve proper coupler-to-hitch geometry, reducing stress on mounting hardware and improving safety. All fasteners and control hardware are included, eliminating the need for additional purchasing.

This ball mount fits any 2-inch hitch receiver and suits compact to full-size pickup trucks, SUVs, and work vehicles requiring reliable towing infrastructure. Mechanics and fleet operators favor REESE components for their forgiving tolerances and real-world durability in both highway and off-road conditions. Installation takes roughly 30 minutes with basic hand tools; simply insert the shank into the receiver, secure with the provided pin, and attach your ball coupler. For trailers exceeding 4000 lb tongue weight, verify receiver-rated capacity and consider a weight-distributing hitch setup for improved braking response and vehicle control.
