Trailer Hitches
#1

We are changing our tow vehicle from a pintle hook to a 2 5/8" ball. We were wondering if anyone knows of a ball mount that has a 10-ton rating and fits the 2" receiver on our Ford F-550. We've found a 25,000 lb. ball and our receiver is rated to handle whatever the truck can handle, so all we need is the ball mount so we can make the switch. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

you even have to be careful with custom work by so called pro's. Just because someone can lay a purty bead does not mean they can properly design a hitch. And most truck frames are designed to have bolt on hitches- welding to truck frames is usully a no-no whether its a dually, medium duty or an OTR truck.
Good luck with your ball quest

Just to clarify the hitch was installed by Tuscany Conversions and it is welded to the frame but it is also bolted. I am assuming that a quality company like Tuscany knows what they're doing.
