Today we're going to take a look at the CURT two and five sixteenths diameter long shank chrome hitch ball with a 15,000 pound weight capacity. Now, this hitch ball provide a connection point for your trailer's coupler. Does use find threads to provide a nice tight, strong grip. It's a treated steel which is very durable, has a nice corrosion-resistant chrome finish to it. If you notice these flat edges right here, these are built-in wrench flats that make it very easy to hold the ball in place while you're tightening the nut. Now, the lock washer and the nut is all included for installation.
Again, the ball diameter on this is two and five sixteenths of an inch. The weight capacity, which is stamped on the top of the ball, is 15,000 pounds.Just to give you a few dimension on this, we're going to measure the shank diameter, which is going to be right at one and a quarter inch diameter, and the length of it from the bottom to the end is right at two and five eighths inches long. It is designed to fit ball platforms from three quarter inch to one inch thick. But again, you'll just drop this through the hole in the ball mount, put your washer on, put your nut on, and then just tighten it down and torque it to the factory specs. But that should do it for the review on the CURT two and five sixteenths inch long shank chrome hitch ball with a 15,000 pound weight capacity..

Ratings & Reviews
I purchased this hitch ball to go with my e2 weight distribution hitch. It arrived in a timely manner. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. I haven’t assembled it yet but I’m sure it will work perfectly.
I use rtrailer for all my trailer related needs. Good quality and, always, quick shipping.
Perfect hitch ball for towing my 11,000 pound boat & trailer. 3,000 towing miles so far and all is well.
Great price the larger shank fit much better in my load leveling receiver hitch.
Exactly as described and quick shipping!
Curt 15K ball
I was impressed with the etrailer fast and reasonable shipping. I tow RV's for a transport company, Curt is one of the more reliable brands in this business and etrailer had the best price.
As it should be. Bought to go on an equilizer weight distribution hitch. Works great and good bang for the buck.
Really nice finish and quality for a good price. The flats are helpful to torque to what? 450 foot pounds?
I know turn the 2 inch square ball mount 90 degrees and stand on my 1 inch drive torque wrench, but I only weigh 155. Do the math, a cheater pipe 3 feet long.
This is a heavy duty hitch. I needed it for a class V 2 1/2" receiver that I purchased for safely pulling my 12,000 lb boat/trailer.
Also note that despite the image for the product making it appear to have a satin finish, it is chrome plated as described.
I normally put excellent for everything. But you are actually lucky that everything made it here. The box was ripped open and the ball was just bouncing around the box. I didn't even open the box. I just reached my hand in and pulled out the products and you are very lucky they were here.
Preston and Ian were outstanding to work with and get the proper fit for my truck and trailer. Very detail oriented and everything they told me was spot on. Thanks guys!
I upgraded to this ball as I also ordered a 14,000 # convert-a ball with a 1.25 inch hole to pull my new dump trailer. Is a very nice setup with the dampening feature.

Seems to be working as I expected
The shipment came in very fast. All 3 hitch balls were perfect fit to trailers. I highly recommend this product.

I have used this product regularly for a year and it is still outstanding!
Bought this hitch to use on a Jayco toy hauler at a dealers recommendation who sold several different types of load distribution/stabilizer products. Worked great so I bought another one for our new North Trail which is same size but 1/2 the weight. Only this time I installed it myself. Support from etrailer was excellent. They know their product. I actually ordered the wrong weight bars, and another part was missing and we had a trip scheduled! They got us the parts ASAP and we were ready to go with time to spare. One point of caution: When installing the ball, it requires 400 lbs of torque. I took this to a truck repair shop and did it for me free in just a minute.
The Reese weight distribution hitch would likely work fine for a trailer somewhere between 20-28 feet. Been towing for years, and find it does distribute the weight nicely onto the truck. However, with a long trailer (I am towing a 36 foot Rockwood with the weight of 3 large slides), you're going to have highway speed sway every time. There is just no two ways about this. Dialing it in precisely, new shocks, new tires, new truck - 3/4 ton to a one ton, is not going to fix it. The passing semi trucks will get you side to side if traveling at 50 mph or more, and it is uncontrollable at times. If you go with this hitch, you will be avoiding highways like the plague, trying to make sure you don't lose your trailer and more. Just spend the extra money and get a Hensley or Pro Pride hitch. They are the only hitches that work for weight distribution AND sway elimination on long trailers. If those are too pricey, seriously think twice about purchasing a long trailer - you will never have the same issues with a fifth wheel.
this was exactly what I was looking for.
I never needed a ball with this size of shank before.
I'm really glad you had one.
This was the only place that had an 8-in drop hitch that was a class 4 rating. None of the parts stores had it in stock or available.
I own a 31ft Cabin Cruiser boat that weighs around 10,000lbs and the trailer itself weighs over 2000lbs. Every time I would pull the boat out of the water the back of my truck would squat a little and the trailer jack would occasionally scrape the ground. So I purchased this Hitch Ball and mounted it upside down so that the ball is higher than the bumper of the truck and now the trailer is level when cruising down the interstate fully loaded.
This Hitch ball is very heavy and completlely solid! I dont hear any noises coming from the hitch at all.
Etrailer had the best price around and will always contine shopping with them anytime I need any trailer parts
It's a ball... But a nice one. Want real reviews? Ask me in three months what I think. Not the day after I got it... Service from eTrailer was aok. Fortunately UPS lets us upgrade shipping from USPS delivery to UPS straight through. The ball appears to have heavy chrome. That will be a plus!

Great product! I got it because of the high end specs. I have a equipment and a dump trailer. Never have to worry about exceeding the GVW and TW of that ball! Peace of mind is great...Best regards,
Got this hitch for my 2014 Ram 2500. It came with an adapter to use standard 2" ball mounts I already had from my old truck. The adapter wobbled and rattled so put some duct tape on it. That stops the rattle but makes it hard to change ball mounts!
I got this correct size ball mount and now no rattles or problems! Looks better too. Great Finish and welds. I got the matching Curt 2-5/16" ball and all is good now!

Ball is still going STRONG!
Great service and product delivered on time
Someone should have noticed I was ordering a hitch with a 1 inch hole and a ball with a 1 1/4 inch shaft. I don't want the hastle of sending the ball back for an under $10 cost, so I ordered a new one on Amazon :(

Excellent!!
I put a trailer hitch on my 2012 Chevy Cruze. I don't use it very often. It went on easily as did the wiring harness. I'll use it more this summer. Two thumbs up.
