Features:
Specs:
This ball mount offers two distinguishing features that provide a smooth towing experience. First, a threaded, stainless steel hitch pin weaves securely through a threaded hole in the ball mount. This innovation pulls the ball mount to the receiver tube and eliminates the horizontal (left-to-right) gap that leads to rattling. Second, as the ball mount is pulled to the side, the floating "gold wedge" is pushed to the top of the receiver tube and wedged in place. This prevents the ball mount from moving vertically (up and down) in the receiver tube, eliminating slack in all directions. The annoying "clanking" is now gone and the drivetrain is better protected.
The hitch pin includes a brass lock with a dust cover to protect it from road debris. With a maximum 10,000lbs gross towing weight, this ball mount accommodates any 2" hitch receiver and offers a 1" shank hole. It also sports a rugged, powder coated steel construction.
The image of the back side of the ball mount shows its hollow shank. On the inside is a threaded, square block that is welded into place. It works with the threaded hitch pin to pull the ball mount to the side of the hitch receiver opening. The gold wedge on the left can float to take up additional vertical space in the receiver tube.

Today we are going to show you part number SR25733 from Softride. This is their steel Tightening Ball Mount. This part number is for the 2-inch version. This is also available in 4-inch and 6-inch versions, too. A few features of this ball mount are that it comes complete with a wedge and tightening hitch pin to combine for safe and quiet towing. It comes with a stainless steel hitch pin - which is really nice you do not have to worry about corrosion. It comes with a 1-inch shank hole for 1-inch balls. It is rated for Class IV applications with a 1,000-pound tongue weight and 10,000-pound towing weight. And it actually tightens the ball mount in three directions: front to rear and also up left to right or up and down. Next we will cover some of the features and details and show you how it works.
The ball mount comes with a tightening hitch pin, which is this part right here. This is constructed of stainless steel, and it just threads in right here. This bolt tightens up the ball mount against the hitch so it pulls against the hitch, like so. And when the ball mount gets pushed inside of the hitch, this wedge comes up and actually locks everything into position, so it does not move left to right or up and down. Also this hitch pin controls movement from forward to rearward, too, eliminating flop in the hitch that way, also. And then your lock here, which is constructed of brass and stainless steel, goes on the other side. And this lock simply gets pushed onto the pin. And it comes complete with a cap to keep the elements out of the lock itself. Now I will actually go ahead and install this on a typical 2-inch receiver to give you a better idea of how it works.
Line up the pin holes and then install your hitch pin it is an actual tightening hitch pin itself. And then install your lock on the other side, and it just snaps into place. Once you have the lock in place, then go ahead and tighten up the bolt. We are going to use a 7/8-inch wrench. And when we tighten it up you will actually see the ball mount move to the side. And also you will this wedge actually go into this corner right here to help lock everything in position. And you can see the ball mount actually raise up a little bit as it contours to the hitch. All right, once you have it tightened down, you are not going to have any left to right, or up and down, or front to rear. So essentially this is a solid connection at this point.
When you take off the ball mount what you want to do is go ahead and loosen the bolt back up. Do that first, until you can move your lock around. Then just use your key and take off the lock. And then you can go ahead and unbolt the rest of the pin. All right, and that covers the review of part number SR25733 from Softride.

Well made with a great finish. It works as advertised. Simple installation results in a tight fit in the receiver, eliminating the clunking so common in slide-in hitches secured by a pin. Impressive quality. I was notified promptly of order verification and very shortly later that it had been shipped! Arrived when promised and tracking links were spot on.44247
