Part Number: GH-617
Features
- Dual-Ball mount
- 7 adjustable positions
- 2 1⁄2” Shank
- Strongest adjustable drop hitch
- Most versatile hitch
- 2.5″ Slot Openings on Hitch
- Fabricated with Heavy-Duty Steel
- Designed for 1.5″ or smaller lunette rings
- Sand Blasted and Coated with a Durable Silver-Vein Powder Coat
Notes
- If you are towing with a pintle ring trailer, use a 2 5/16″ ball, NOT a 2″ ball when towing.
- Got a lift, no problem! Even if you have a lift kit, this hitch can still be of use! However, there are a few things to think about when towing with a lifted vehicle.
- Long drop hitches (12″ or more) will put additional leverage on the vehicle receiver. Therefore, in some cases, receiver hitch manufacturers will reduce ratings by as much as 50%.
- A long drop hitch will also typically create a lot more movement due to the added length and drop of the ball mount. Using the Stabilizer Kit (GH-0100) will tie the bottom of the GEN-Y adjustable drop hitch into the frame of the truck which will take the stress off of the receiver as well as keeping the bottom of the ball mount from moving, ensuring a safe towing experience.

How It Works
The original quick-adjust GEN-Y pintle hitch system uses the standard GH-061 2.5″ Versa-Ball in addition to the GH-062 pintle lock to quickly and safely connect to any size or height pintle coupling. By simply pulling the pin in the pintle lock and sliding it back into the adjustable GEN-Y hitch system, the lunette eye (pintle ring) of the pintle trailer can then be lowered down over the 2 5/16″ side of the Versa-Ball. The last step is to slide the pintle lock back out across the lunette eye and pin it in place securely.
