Rotating Hitch 180

Question

Is there any problem rotating my bar 180 to gain rise? I probably only will need an inch. Having new axles put on that I know will raise me at least 4 inches.

Nope, not all all. They are designed to be used in the down position or the up position. Just make sure if it's in the up position, your truck tailgate doesn't hit.  That's the only thing to watch for if you have one that has too much of a "rise".

Cool. Good point about tailgate. Looks like I should be ok. I will check. Thanks! BTW I found a pic backing this up....http://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&amp;ccid=SJ2JV8RE&amp;id=7FD5E1399808036FEDC1E42FE6B38357CB90A3FA&amp;q=rotate+hitch+draw+bar+for+height&amp;simid=608029802748773319&amp;selectedIndex=2&amp;ajaxhist=0

No problem at all. I have done this several times for people.

yes, you can flip the ball mount.  However, that mount may not adjust enough for you.  There is a larger gap between up and down than one hole spacing.  It is worth trying first after you get the trailer axles raised.

Yes APT...good point. I am concerned about the lack of holes. I've seen others on line and they have more holes. No idea why it was designed that way? I MAY have to replace that part? I wonder if I can drill new holes?I will have to see what happens when I get it back. I do have another bar somewhere about that may work. I have to use the ball part so I can use old WD bars - which work very well. Thanks!
