Does anyone know where to get a good 3 ball hitch, a hitch with a 1 7/8 ball, a 2', and a 2 5/16 that is strong and not too expensive? thanks

i bought mine at an equipment rental place (sunbelt rentals) but have also seen them at walmart around here. i know cabelas sells em but im not sure if shipping is any more than normal items since theyre so heavy. mine was $38 i think cause i got the black one, not chrome.

I went with the convert-a-ball system from etrailer.com

This is the stainless steel version at 65.00 however the non stainless version is 40.00. I like this method because it is fast and easy. I have used these for years and never had a problem with them.

I use an aluminum one that is height adjustable. It only has 2" and 2 5/16". Don't know what I would use a 1 7/8" for. Can't you put a 1 7/8 coupler on a 2" ball? I've not yet used the 2" but will someday I'm sure.

I've not yet used the 2" but will someday I'm sure.1 7/8" is on smaller utility trailers. and no you cant put it on a 2" ball, think about it - bigger ball than the coupler?? wont fit. most boats use 2" balls.
