Thread: Ok all you machinist guys

    I got a rapid hitch for Christmas and I am wondering if it is a feesible idea for a step to be used in place of the ball when I am not towing. I think it would be good for lifted trucks.
    Is there also a lock available for the slide piece that holds the ball.

    So are you asking if you can use a step that engages the "teeth"

    I'm thinking he wants the exact same setup as what's in the picture, except instead of having 2 balls on either side, it'd just have a step?

    They use them all the time for MTC's, They are usually just a one pice deal. Slides right into the reciever and gets pinned.

    I could take the ball assembly out when I'm not towing and put a step in there. It would still use the same slide part that adjusts up and down.
