Getting the coupler height right keeps your trailer stable and safe. This mount gives you a 1/2" rise or a 2" drop so you can run either way and keep the trailer level. A level setup tows smoother, brakes more evenly, and helps prevent sway when the road gets rough.
When you’re pulling serious weight, strength matters. This solid, 1-piece forged steel ball mount is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 20,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 2,700 lbs. It’s made for heavy-duty towing jobs like equipment trailers, campers, and boats—whatever needs dependable muscle behind it.
No moving parts means no rattle or constant adjustment. The fixed design on this Curt mount keeps things straightforward—just slide it into your 2-1/2" receiver, add your hitch ball, pin it, and go. The 8-1/2" length from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole gives plenty of clearance while keeping a clean fit.
Towing gear takes abuse from weather and road debris, but the corrosion-resistant carbide black powder coat finish stands up to it. The matte look stays sharp after road trips through rain or salt spray, and the coating helps protect the forged steel underneath from rust over time.
You can use this mount in either position depending on what you’re towing. Whether you’re hooking up a tall equipment trailer or something lower like a boat hauler, flipping between rise and drop gives you quick flexibility without needing separate mounts.

Received the items on time and they are exactly what I requested. I have been buying items from etrailer for quite a while now and they always assist and provide the purchased items on time. Recommend using etrailer for their support and delivery times.
Super rugged. I like overkill and wanted this for a heavy 10K lb flatbed.
One solid piece of steel.
Great insert.
This thing is heavy duty! I love it.
I got the silencer and the lock for it as well thanks to Paula at etrailer i was able to get all the right stuff for my new truck! Thanks etrailer and thank you so much for all your help Paula!
Package arrived the next day with free shipping. You could have driven a tank over the box, it was packed so well. George J was very helpful answering questions so I ordered the correct items. When I looked at the bill, I saw there was sales tax, that is when I realized etrailer was located in MO. Will defiantly stop by the store next time when I am on my way to STL.
Nice powder coat finish.
Required spec for a dump trailer.
Another great experience with etrailer.com. This is my 3 or 4th order with them. All deliveries were faster than expected. Customer service excellent. I've always ordered "national brand" items and pricing has always been better than any local comparison here in the Atlanta area. I always go to them 1st.
Items ordered are just basic trailer parts and tow equipment. Nothing fancy, just basic good products that work as expected.
Needed a ball mount for a larger trailer. This one is large and makes use of the heavier hitch on my Silverado 2500.
This receiver has performed perfectly for a year. It is a little rough in its finish, but it is solid and I do not have any concerns while towing heavy trailers using this receiver.
I found the Hitch Ball Mounts easily online with etrailer.com where I could not at any local retailers. The items are exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for your easy online sales process and quick delivery.
On time, repeat customer... Products exactly what I wanted. Thanks for delivering what you promised.

Still holding up...the main sleeve has rusted a bit so I must keep some WD40 on it so it wont swell and get stuck to the truck..overall still very happy with the product a year later! One of very few hitches that can tow 15,000lbs!
Curt makes one of the best product line of equiptment to tow stuff behind your vehicle. The one hitch I got made completely from one piece of steel and the 2 1/2 inch size for class 5's fit perfect in my reciver with out a adapter. I feel very comfortable towing anything with this hitch.
I received everything that I requested in a short time even with the free shipping. The ball mount and the balls I requested and the 2-5/16th ball and the 2" ball were just what I needed. the ball cap for the 2-5/16 ball fit perfect the ball cap for the 2" was really just made for the smaller ball. I would recommend that they make a ball cap for just the 2" ball. Got it to fit but not that well. I will need breaks for my boat trailer after this season and I plan on using etrailer for those parts. will need to call them before I make purchase as Im not sure how to size them up.
Had purchased a 24' Cargo Trailer and needed ball mount to raise and level the trailer. E-Trailer fit the bill with a forged ball mount that I just mounted today. I also bought a new ball to go with the ball mount that had a higher weight limit. Also purchased a tri mount because it filled the lift requirement of level on the receiver. Over all a great experience and items were received in a timely manner. (It would be hard to mess these things up in shipping.)
Needed this to fit the 2-1/2" square rec. hitch on my truck. It is a solid, forged chunk of iron. I use it with a 2-5/16" ball to pull a 20' trailer that is usually loaded with crushed rock weighing 4 to 5 tons. It gets the job done with no problem. Would buy again.
Quality heavy duty ball mount. Fast shipping. Good website.

Great products. Thanks.
Just what I wanted. I am not a fan of the adapter on my Chevy 2500 so I prefer the 3" receiver. This one is solid and offers a small range of height adjustment.

Holding up great, still looks brand new and working well.
This forged ball mount was not machined flat around mounting hole. I had to grind a flat surface for proper fit.
Very stout and solid. Fits a ball with a 2 3/4" or 2 5/8" shanks perfectly, so there isn't too much thread hanging out below waiting to get damaged. It slips into the Ram hitch receiver without much slop, but I haven't towed with it yet.

Great mount for heavy trailering. There is virtually no movement. The paint is holding up well.
This thing looks hollow in these pictures but I assure you it is solid metal through and through . Very heavy piece and I now realize I made the right choice. The one thing I didn't like about it is the fact you can't find a ball with the correct size shaft to fit the hole precisely , so the one you have to use makes the lock washer sit at a canter in the hole above the nut, its a good thing my shaft has a cotter pin..

Still satisfied with my purchase, ive had no problems with it. I have not had any issues with it coming loose. The best part about it is not having to pull the receiver out every time I have to change trailer ball sizes.
Well finished and fits well in my 2014 Silverado 2500 HD. Arrived without delay in good packaging. Don't forget to order a new pin, and lock. This is a 2-1/2 inch ball mount, and pins and locks for 2 inch devices are too short.

No nonsense. Heavy duty and performs well. Dont it on your foot. It will hurt!
Heavy duty hitch insert- made well
I have been towing trailers many years With no issues until recently. Trailer weights have increased and loads also. My three way ball with 2 5/16 was torn off of tubing because of insufficient welding, I was very lucky. Yes I went to a solid receiver with bolt style ball. Very great setup. Thanks curt for designing heavy hitches and etrailer for easy ordering.
