That's a great question! Here's the breakdown for your Shocker XR Sway Control Drop Hitch: **The entire XR channel frame** can be flipped - that's the main hitch body that slides into your receiver. Flipping it gives you more drop or rise, which you already know. **The drop ball mount itself** (the attachment with the ball and sway tabs that slides into the channel) is **not designed to be flipped**. Here's why: - The drop ball mount is **welded with a specific offset** - the ball sits below the mounting plate to create drop. If you flipped it upside down, the ball would point upward but the geometry isn't intended for that orientation. - More importantly, your sway control tabs would end up in the wrong position relative to the ball and trailer frame, which could cause improper sway bar function. **What you *can* do:** You can adjust the ball mount **up and down through the 8 (or 10) adjustment holes** in the channel for fine-tuning - that gives you **0" to 7-1/2" of drop** on the 8-hole frame (or 0" to 9" on the 10-hole). **If you need rise instead of drop,** Shocker offers a **Raised Ball Mount with Sway Tabs** (SH-310125-2SC or SH-310125-25SC) that provides **5" of rise to 3" of drop** - designed specifically for that purpose. All Shocker mounts are hot-swappable; just pull the pins and swap! Would you like me to look up the raised sway mount option for you?

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Have not used it for towing yet. Initial thoughts, very well constructed, heavy duty hitch. Good thick steel. This was shipped in two packages. I got the drop hitch, but not the ball. This was not Shocker's fault, FedEx dropped the ball big time. When I had no response from FedEx, I contacted Shocker and they shipped me the missing half that day. Great product and great customer service.
Great hitch - exactly what we needed
