Anyone have a solution/idea for an articulating hitch and or ball that will work on the year 2000 1500 I/S?

Hard to ascertain what I actually need.

TIA!

The easiest ways to get articulation for a trailer connection is either done with:

A pivoting trailer ball: https://theusatrailerstore.com/freedom-pivot-tilt-ball/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxJqHBhC4ARIsAChq4asDkYIPQwq8CzIBpJaW6uDz76NU4dcLYMp_ffUPBPKJtUEVzTCJ7DMaAi7JEALw_wcB

A swivel hitch for the trailer tongue: https://theusatrailerstore.com/swivel-hitch-coupler-for-solace-camper/

Alternately, you can convert to a full Heim joint style connection with a kit like this: https://www.kompactkamptrailers.com/store/Motorcycle-Swivel-Hitch-Heim-Coupler-p225837253 or a custom made setup.

This guy made one with parts from Tractor Supply:  https://motorcycle7usa.com/question/diy-heim-joint-swiveling-hitch-coupler-no-welding/

I have a non receiver hitch on the bike. It’s just a ball hitch. So I put a swivel joint on the tongue of the trailer and I love it. I can lean all I want now.
