I have two Class II, 1 1/4 inch ball mounts that have identical construction in everyway except one is straight and the other has 3 inch rise. The straight ball mount has a 3,500 lbs capacity and the ball mount with the 3 inch rise has a 2,000 lbs capacity. So, the ball mount with the rise looses 43% of it's capacity. Again, both of these mounts have identical construction, materials, and ball shaft sizes. I included a picture of both ball mounts.
Can anyone tell me why the capacities are so different?
I want to a boat/trailer combination between 2,500 and 3,000 lbs.
Will it be risky to tow this load using the ball mount with the rise?
Thanks a bunch!
