Features to know about

Keeps Your Trailer Level: 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop

Getting your trailer level makes all the difference in how it tows. This Brophy ball mount gives you a 3/4" rise or a 2" drop so you can dial in the right height for your setup. A level trailer tracks straighter, brakes smoother, and keeps your load stable every time you head out.

Built for Real Towing Loads: 10,000 lbs GTW Capacity

When you’re pulling serious weight—boats, campers, or equipment—you want gear that’s up to the job. This mount is rated for 10,000 lbs gross towing weight and 1,000 lbs tongue weight, giving you solid strength for heavy-duty use. The sturdy steel construction and fixed design mean it’s ready for repeated hauls without flex or fuss.

Stays In Place: Long, Solid 13-1/4" Shank

The extra length makes for an easy fit and steady ride. Measuring 13-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole, the hollow steel shank provides a strong link between truck and trailer. It’s sized right for confident towing with reliable clearance around your setup.

Fights Rust and Road Grime: Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish

Towing gear takes a beating from weather and road debris. The gloss black powder coat finish on this ball mount helps resist rust and corrosion so it stays looking good and working right through rain, salt, and grime season after season.

Simple Setup: Fixed Mount That Just Works

No moving parts or adjustments to deal with—just slide the mount into your 2-1/2" hitch receiver, secure it with a 5/8" pin or lock (sold separately), bolt on your hitch ball (sold separately), and you’re set to tow. It’s straightforward gear built to handle heavy loads without complication.

It does sound like it had a tough journey and it that the ball mount fell out. I will have our Customer Service team have this taken care of for you.



by:

Exactly as described. This extended length
ball
mount will allow tighter turns without jack knifing. I am very pleased.



by:

Perfect and was hard to find since the newer trucks are just starting to use this 2.5" size as does my 2018 F250.
Thanks

All fine..works as it should.

Shipped fast, looks great. I have not used it yet. The only issue was just with packaging, the hitch fell out of the box as UPS handed it to my wife. Luckily it did not hit her foot.



by:

Excellent product, just what I was looking for. Customer service was fantastic. Took care of my issues quickly.



by:

Finally, an extended hitch. No adapters

Definitely came in clutch I'd say!

Exactly as described. Just what I need to tow my 10,000lb race trailer and gain the swing clearance required for my power lift gate. Quick shipping to Canada



by:

Quick and easy to work with. They delivered the product on time. It is exactly what we asked for.



by:

Trailer hitch perfect fit for application, 20% savings from local trailer supply (including the 18.00 freight, which as always is a fair charge for this heavy item). Fast service, easy to use web page and quality products. etrailer are the dog whisperers of trailer parts.

This hitch is the perfect length and load capacity to do some local hauling of our camper. I was tired of lugging around the 100#+ weight distribution hitch and the Brophy was the only one I could find that met all the requirements of length, hitch size, tongue weight, and total load with the correct ball height for my Silverado 2500HD. I still use my WD hitch for highway hauling, but 99% of the time, the Brophy is doing the work.

I cant rave enough about having this hitch for our camper. A lot of the movement in the camper while hauling was coming from the china bomb tires that were still on it. The new Good Year tires with stiffer sidewall in combination with the Brophy hitch is a great compact and light option for safely hauling your travel trailer. Our longest trip with this hitch was 3 hours, no safety or handling concerns.

It’s hard to find extra long shanks!
This
one will work great!

  • Do You Have a 2 1/2" Extender? How can I Extend My Hitch Ball 3" From My Receiver?
    Hello Ron, Thanks for writing in. We do not have a 2-1/2" hitch extender available, so I think your best option may be to go with a ball mount that has a longer shank. Something like the Brophy Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch # BZ20 could work well for what you're trying to accomplish. It measures 13-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole and has a 3/4" rise or 2" drop with a 10,000 lb capacity. To make sure this will give you the extra clearance you need,...

  • Extended Ball Mount Option for Tailgate Clearance on a 2024 Ford F350 with 2 1/2 Inch Hitch
    Paul, I completely understand wanting a little more clearance there because the last thing you want is the trailer jack contacting the tailgate on a brand new F350. A couple extra inches can make a huge difference when you are trying to drop the tailgate while hooked up, especially with the larger electric jack heads many newer trailers use. The safest and cleanest way to gain that extra 4 to 5 inches of clearance is actually to use a longer ball mount instead of a hitch extender. We currently...

  • 2 1/2” Ball Mount Extension for Tailgate Clearance
    I have a solution for your tailgate clearance issue but we do not have a 2 1/2" extension that doesn't reduce that is also around the length you are looking for. I recommend going with an extended ball mount. Item # BZ20 is the Brophy Ball Mount for 2-1/2" hitches it has 3/4" rise or 2" drop and is 13-1/4" long. I have linked a review video.

  • 10to 12 Extended Ball Mount For Class-5 Hitch With 2 Receiver?
    In your question you state that you have a Class-5 hitch, and they come with a 2-1/2” receiver opening. You also state that you have a 2” receiver. I will offer a ball mount solution for either size receiver. For a 2” receiver you can use the 13-1/4” long Brophy # BM20 with 2” drop, or the 14-1/4” long Curt # D-28 with 6” drop. For a 2-1/2” receiver you can use the 12-1/4” long Convert-A-Ball # AMSCV-6 with 6” drop, or the 10-1/2” long Draw-Tite # 45291 with a 7-3/4” drop, or the 13-1/4”...

  • Availability of Brophy Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch With 4" and 6" Drop
    Hi Andy; the Brophy Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch # BZ20 is only available with the 2" drop. A 2" ball # A-90 will work with this ball mount but that doesn't help if you need the additional drop. We have the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount # BWBMHD30212 (4" drop) and # BWBMHD30214 (6" drop) but the overall length is not as long as the Brophy. Both of these can use the # A-90 as well. If you want an adjustable option the Flash Strong Solid Steel 2-Ball Mount # FA49-00-5625 would also work. Is...
