MAXXHAUL 2" Trailer Hitch Ball Mount Kit — 8" Welded Shank, 2" Chrome Ball, 7,500 lb Capacity

MAXXHAUL 50547 is a complete 2" receiver towing starter kit — an 8" welded ball mount with a 2" chrome hitch ball and 5/8" pin rated for up to 7,500 lbs gross towing weight.

This compact towing assembly combines a durable powder-coated steel shank, a solid forged chrome hitch ball, and a secure pin and clip to give you a reliable hookup for trailers and cargo. Built for use with standard Class III and IV 2" x 2" receivers, the kit balances strength and corrosion resistance for frequent road use or seasonal hauling. The components are sized and finished to make installation quick and maintenance simple so you spend less time prepping and more time towing.

How does this kit handle different trailer heights?

The 8" ball mount is designed to accommodate typical trailer tongue heights with a maximum drop of 2" and a maximum rise of 3/4", letting you fine-tune trailer level for safer towing. Using the correct combination of rise/drop and trailer ball position helps maintain proper tongue weight and trailer tracking.

• 8" overall length for common clearances and load balance
• 2" maximum drop when lower coupling is required
• 3/4" maximum rise for modestly higher trailer tongues
• Fits standard 2" x 2" Class III/IV receivers

What are the strength and durability specifications?

Components are engineered for rugged use: the ball mount is welded heavy-duty steel and finished with a weather-resistant black powder coat to slow corrosion. The hitch ball is solid forged steel with a chrome-polished finish for wear resistance, and the pin is sized for a secure, low-play connection.

• Maximum Gross Towing Weight: 7,500 lbs
• Tongue weight capacity: 700 lbs
• Forged 2" diameter hitch ball with 1" shank
• Includes 5/8" pin with clip for secure retention

How easy is installation and daily use?

The kit is ready to mount out of the box—insert the ball mount into a 2" receiver, align the hitch pin hole and secure with the included 5/8" pin and clip. The chrome ball threads into the mount and seats solidly, requiring minimal tools and no additional parts for most towing setups.

• Plug-and-play installation into standard 2" receivers
• Chrome ball with 1" shank installs with common wrenches
• Pin and clip keep the mount locked in place during transit
• Powder coat finish reduces cleaning and upkeep

Who is this for: The MAXXHAUL 50547 kit is aimed at drivers who need a dependable, no-frills towing solution for utility trailers, small campers, boat trailers, and equipment haulers that fall within the 7,500 lb towing range. It suits DIY truck or SUV owners who want a durable starter kit that fits standard Class III/IV hitch receivers, fleet operators seeking a resilient spare mount, and weekend haulers who prefer a low-maintenance, ready-to-use setup. If you require heavier duty towing beyond the listed capacities or specialized hitch features (e.g., adjustable-length shanks, weight-distribution systems), consider components rated specifically for those applications.
