    I just counted all the receiver mounts I have for all my trucks. Between my two trucks and my wifes truck I have ten different mounts. I have built everone of them, I just can't see paying for them when I have srcape iron laying around.

    i have two right now, one has no ball on it but i have 4 balls..... no comment...

    one is a drop hitch of 4 inches the other is an even hitch.

    i plan on getting one of those aluminum speed hitches.

    does a gooseneck count? i need to get the 5th wheel adaptor for my GN.

    1- 5 1/4" drop
    1- 3 1/2" drop
    3 or 4 - 2" drop

    I wish I could return them all and get one Rapid-Hitch :bling: :D

    Talking ball mounts or receivers?

    I've got about 10+ receivers counting the ones in my shop used to mount rarely used tools like a bead roller and the like. Of course the tow rig with a C5 (also has a 30k 5er/goose). Front and rear on both of my K5 and truggy. Front is great for mounting a ball to maneuver a trailer, and I have a winch that mounts front or rear on whatever truck I need. Planning a mount the winch on my trailer if I ever get the energy to make it happen.

    Of "ball mounts" (I guess "receiver mounts" would be the general term?) I have many including the winch mount, several different actual "ball" mounts in different sizes and drops, and quite a few "tool mounts" for the shop and/or trucks that allow me to mount vices, beaders, benders, anvil/fab tables, and so on...

    Very nice to have a standardized mounting system that allows me to put lots of things (not just hitch balls) wherever I need them.

    I have 2 identical 4" drop hitches (just one is upside down), both with 2" balls, to tow my boat. That is the difference between my ram and the wifes yukon. I also have an adjustable hitch with a changable ball for everything else. I also have a gooseneck and a fifthwheel. Want to get a class 5 hitch and a 2" drop with a 2 5/16" for towing the bigger bumper pulls. Luckily I've been able to mostly pull the goosenecks for work. I hate dealing with weight distributing stuff and my truck doesn't care, only the numbers on my hitch do.

    so 5 for now, want to add more.

    I have:

    1-three ball mount
    1-weight distributing mount for the 24' flat bed trailer
    1- height adjustable mount for towing a 16' flatbed
    1-2" mount for the jet ski

    Quite a few spares of assorted kinds on the shelf in my shop. ;)
