So, I got my hitch set up completed for my Mega Cab. As you know it has the 2 1/2" hitch. I am partial to the pintle mount and ball and decided to go with the 2 5/16" ball. The trailer I will tow most is a 10k# capacity dump trailer my brother has and will use occasionally. The other reason I have such a large setup is because I live in Socal and, well, we have a bunch of inconsiderate a-holes that drive and park. This will act as a "bumper" for those less skilled at parallel parking and those that forget to brake soon enough in stop and go traffic. Despite warnings I will also use it as a strap point if I ever had a need to pull,or be pulled out of a situation
Now, I don't want to be the inconsiderate a-hole to the people that walk by and break their knee on my hitch. This is one large hitch and stickes out a good bit. Is there a problem with the integrity or while towing if I were to drill a second pin hole in the male part about 3-4 inches deeper to suck the hitch in further? I don't think there would be any adverse effect but wanted to check.
