To invert the ball,just reach into the driver side rear wheel well and rotate the actuating rod 90 degrees. This cams the retaining pin to the open position. Invert the ball, and rotate the actuating rod back to its original locked position. That's all there is to it.

   Flip-Over Ball hitches are rated at 7,500 lbs. maximum tongue weight and 30,000 lbs. maximum trailer weight.    Flip-Over Ball components bolt together with the truck providing an extremely strong and reliable towing system. And you get this comforting strength with only a 3-1/2" hole in the truck bed floor.. And, Flip-Over hitches are built specifically for each truck model – so they are a perfect fit. For safe towing, spring loaded U-bolts (which are level with the bed floor when not in use) are provided for anchoring Safety Chains.

Cross Members span and sit on top of the truck frame, thereby transferring all trailer tongue weight directly to the frame of the tow vehicle.

When the actuating rod is returned to its locked position- the retaining pin securely locks the ball in its socket. extending balland coupler life.
