Reccomendations for drop hitch.

Anyone have any recommendations on a good 2.5” adjustable ball mount that will work with 2.5” rocktamer and has up to 8” of drop?

i only need 2” and 2 5/16” *****. It would be nice if the ball mount didn’t rattle....or had provisions to limit rattle.

i like the weigh safe variant but have read that it rattles a lot.

Im not sure how you would avoid rattle...the ball mount itself will rattle in the hitch sleeve.
Currently i use a pintle hitch setup with a 2 5/16 ball mounted on it. I actually had a shop cut the bottom of the mount off because there was way more adjustment than i would ever use.
But to adjust height requires removing the four bolts.

Pulled the trigger on a weigh safe 8” drop hitch.

Theres not not many options that have enough space for the rock tamer mount.

ill post pictures once I install this weekend.

considered the curt but don’t like the double ball. Too worried about it contacting the ground or other items on the farm.

There is just enough space for my rock tamers. Here’s photos with just the shank installed as I’m pulling my Fiver this we.
