8in Drop Hitch, 3in Shank

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch effectively measures the tongue weight of your towing load, ensuring that your vehicle is balanced properly and is safe to tow.Injuries, fatalities, and loss of property are all preventable by ensuring proper tongue weight. Pressure on the stainless steel tow ball sends a reading to the built-in scale that measures tongue weight (lbs.) GMC guidelines for proper towing states tongue weight should be no less than 10% of gross trailer weight (GTW) and no more than 15%. For example, tongue weight for a 10,000 pound full-loaded trailer should be no less than 1,000 lbs. and no more than 1,500 lbs.Note: Weigh Safe max tongue weight is 1,500 lbs. (2” shank) and 2,200 lbs.(2.5” & 3” shank). Do not tow if your reading is in the red zone.Features:Weigh Safe comes in four different drop sizes – 4″, 6”, 8″, and 10″ – that adjust in one-inch increments to fit your need. Weigh Safe can also be used in the rise position. Weigh Safe comes standard with a slider lock and dust lock cover. 2″ and 2-5/16″ stainless steel balls included.
