What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this CURT ball mount. So it's gonna have a longer shank on it to help you with clearance, whether you have a spare tire or just the front coupler in the front of your trailer, too close to the vehicle. You can get it out there a little bit. Let's check it out. Now, when you get your ball mount, you're gonna just get the ball mount, so the ball's gonna be sold separately, and so is the pin and clip.
So make sure you pick those up on the website, as well. So you're gonna put this in your hitch. It fits two inch by two inch hitches. Then the ball is gonna go here. Now, when you're picking out your ball, make sure you look at your trailer coupler, and see which size ball it needs.
So this is gonna be a two-inch ball today. We'll put this through the hole. It's gonna be about one inch, so we know it's gonna fit in there. We'll put our lock washer and nut on the bottom. Now when you get it, you're gonna want to torque this down.
You can't tow a trailer with it loose there. But for demonstration purposes, I'm just doing a hand thread so I can show you. This is gonna be the drop position. This is a two-inch drop. You can also use it in the rise position, so that means you'll flip the ball mount over.
Now, that's not gonna work in our application today because of the spare tire. It doesn't quite clear that. There are longer ball mounts out there, too, you can look at if that's an issue you have. But as you see, you drop it in this way with the lock nut, and that on the bottom, and this would be the rise position, but not able to use it with the spare tire. In the rise position, it's gonna have three-quarter inch of a rise. So at least there's some kind of option with a ball mount if that's what you need. The ball mounts gonna be made out of a black powder coat steel, so if you're leaving it on the back of your vehicle at all times, the weather's not gonna bother it. It's not gonna rust or corrode on you. Now, it also has a trailer weight rating of 7,500 pounds. It's gonna have a tongue weight rating of 750 pounds. Now make sure you look at the other components in your setup, like the ball or the hitch. If those have lower weight ratings, go by those because you don't want to stress out your setup. That was a quick look at the CURT ball mount with the long shank on it, helping out with the clearance on the spare tire, or just keeping the trailer a little bit further away from the vehicle, as well. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out. I hope this helped.
