Getting the right trailer height keeps your setup steady and safe. This ball mount gives you a 6-1/2" rise or an 8" drop, so you can dial in perfect level towing every time. Whether your trailer sits high or low, the fixed design makes it easy to match the right height for a smooth, even pull down the road.
When you’re hauling serious weight, you want gear that’s up for it. This solid, forged steel mount is rated for 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and 2,700 lbs tongue weight. It’s commercial-duty strong and stays rigid under heavy pressure, giving you confidence when moving big trailers or equipment.
Long trips and weather can take a toll on towing gear, but this one’s built to last. The highly durable carbide black powder coat resists corrosion and keeps the steel protected from rain, salt, and grime. It stays looking sharp and ready for work season after season.
No moving parts, no adjustments—just a clean, one-piece steel build that fits a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver. The fixed platform gives a firm mounting point for your hitch ball with a 1-1/4" ball hole and 5/8" pin hole diameter. It installs easily and stays tight in the receiver so your tow feels steady and quiet every time.

Today we're going to take a look at the CURT ball mount for two and a half inch hitches. This one has an eight inch drop, and a six and a half inch rise, and a 20,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now this is a commercial duty ball mount that'll let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle. The shank portion right here is what will slide into your vehicle's two and a half inch hitch receiver, and the ball platform right here provides you a mounting point for your hitch ball.Now the hitch balls, we do sell separately on our website, and they are listed on this product page as a related product. Now when you do buy a hitch ball, it will require a shank on that hitch ball of one and a quarter inches, and that's the measurement of this ball hole right here in the ball platform, and see if we put a ruler on that, it's got a one and a quarter inch diameter opening. So when you get a hitch ball you do want to make sure the shank on it is a one and a quarter inch diameter shank.Now both the drop and rise positions are available to ensure level towing.
It has a sturdy, solid forged steel construction, has a nice highly durable carbide black powder coat finish over it, and when you do install this into your hitch receiver, it will require a hitch pin and clip or a hitch lock to secure it to your hitch, and that is not included. You would have to supply that. We also sell those separately on our website, and the pin hole diameter, the size pin you would need is a five eighths inch diameter hitch pin to fit through here.Application on this is two and a half inch by two and a half inch trailer hitch receivers. Now the gross towing weight capacity will depend on what position you use it in. So if it's like it is now, in the drop position, it will be 20,000 pounds.
If you flipped it over into the rise, it'll be 16,000 pounds. Tongue weight will be the same way. It's in the drop position, 2,700 pounds. You flip it in the rise it's 2,160 pounds in the rise position.Now the drop would be like it is now, and that's measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform. So you can see that's going to be eight inch drop, and the rise would be if we flip it over and you insert it in this way, and the same way it's top of the shank top of the ball platform.
So your rise measurement will be six and a half inches. But that should do it for the review on the CURT ball mount for two and a half inch hitches with the eight inch drop and the six and a half inch rise and a 20,000 pound gross towing weight capacity.

heavy duty built
This is one beefy ball mount ! Not a bunch of pieces welded together.
The Box showed up with nothing in it but a hole in the side of it hitch must be in UPS truck somewhere
Received the ball mount and other items in their original packaging which was nice.
The finish is a good powder coat, and the items should hold up to my demands.
Super heavy duty for heavy loads
Perfect for towing anything I will need. I like the one piece forged steel construction. this has the heaviest capacity of any ball mount I could find.
I initially ordered the wrong hitch but I contacted Nick. He set me up with the right one and all the information to send back the original with ease. Thanks again, the right hitch works great.
Does the job. Made the connection between my flatbed truck and a bumper pull trailer the right height.
Fantastic product! Huge, beefy looking. No welds. Solid steel. This looks expensive and like you tow some serious business. Customer service is fantastic, quick shipping and had the best price!

Great heavy duty hitch!!! Arrived sooner than I expected, Thank you!!!
Extremely heavy duty. Just what I neede d.
Wanted 2-1/2" size to eliminate the 2" adaptor and all the play that was associated with that. Also appreciate the 1-1/4" ball mounting hole. Seems like a sturdier setup and more trustworthy for my racing trailer.
