How much play is there between the adjustable ball mount and the receiver shank?

Very little. I love mine. Obviously it moves a little bit, but it's pretty snug.

There was about an inch. The bad part about the whole deal, is I needed the ball right away, an it ended up costing me another $70.00 to get the parts because all they had was stainless. I got absolutely no help from Trimax.

Very little play. You don't have to clean it to move the ball mount, but it does not make any noise when driving.

The hitch has way too much play. My boat will basically bounce up and down when you hit a small bump. I would avoid this product and get a B&W; hitch. Additionally, their customer service is very poor.

Some play between them. mine doesn't really make any noise unloaded, but you can wiggle it up and down by hand.

There is a little bit of play between the two. It rattles around a bit when not loaded but no different from other hitches I have used over the years. It is a solid hitch so far.

Yeah you won't have to mess with the receiver but you will need to get a hitch extension because the bumper sticks out about a 1" further than the receiver, also if you plan on adding the swing arm spare tire carrier you will need to get at least a 8" extension....

The shank that goes into the receiving hitch is not adjustable (one hole) but the rack itself can be adjusted outward by 6 inches. The listed price is well worth the investment. We drove 3000 mile this summer with absolutely no issues with the carrier.

I'm not really sure, but I would assume that if it has the standard ball head mounting stud it should be just fine...I really like this ball head...very sturdy and easy to use.

the braces that mount to the frame is adjustable so the receiver depth will be determined by the width of your frame. On my trailer it extends approximately 2" on each side. The center receiver is even with my rear bumper and the hitch is mounted as far to the rear as I could mount it.

No, i just ordered the set and wasn't paying attention. Now I have to either return the ball for exchange or pay $10 at the auto parts store for the bushing to reduce the hole to 3/4" Not using the bushing will make the shank bang back and forth in the hole during braking and acceleration, causing inevitable failure of the shank. If you made the same mistake as me, exchange or get the bushing. I need to tow right away, so I will be returning the ball to amazon and buying the correct one from Walmart.

It all comes together as one piece... you have to buy a separate receiver to mount the ball onto.. hope that helps.

I mounted my pintle hook in the center of the mounting plate. At that position the top of the 2" ball is dead even with the top of the 2" tube. If you move it up you will gain an inch or at the bottom it will lower it an inch.

Not sure. I know that the pin on the end of the arm, and the angle of the receiving stabilizer are the issues. I used the Glide Cam and had to make a bushing for it. Best to ask Cowboy.

I agree! It rattles really bad because the ball mount don't fit snugg. Really weird! Let me know if you find one!

about 10 1/4 center to center it is about a 1/2 inch closer than the bottom. you have about three inches clearance from hitch to top receiver.

The best answer: "it depends." Depending on your own height and how you have your saddle set, you may or may not see interference. If you have a decent amount of exposed seat post, you can mount the receiver high enough and you will have plenty of clearance. This receiver stays in place well once it's mounted. I've seen others that slide down (Trek, for example). If you're short and don't have a lot of post to work with, you might get some interference. Not sure if I can post a picture of mine here, but I can take some measurements if needed.

Like the other answer, it depends on your firearm/length of rail as to how much play you have with rings

Can you tell if the nut insert is moving when you try to install the ball mount? If you were able to removed the allen head bolt with ease. I would think the threads are not strip out.

Similar problem - no way to get to nut inside channel to tighten down properly either. Might work for a smaller ball, but I would not trust it even if you could get it on there. The workaround I used (found on Amazon as I needed ASAP for a trip) was to purchase a different receiver hitch that had a "piggy back" receiver welded above it. The upper one can be used to hold the bike rack and the "real" one below allows a ball to be mounted properly. Added advantage is you can get a MUCH better tow rating / capacity using this configuration.Hope this helps.MP

Not if you get the proper ball. Make sure the thread shank dia. of the ball matches the hole in the ball mount (which I believe is 1-1/4").

The "extended part" usually is over the handguard. If your handguard has a rail on top that is level with the receiver, I really doubt there would be enough room - but it would depend on the thickness of the mount.
