Today, we're going to be taking a look at Curt's two-inch hitch ball with a one and a quarter inch diameter shank. Part number A-90. This is what our ball's going to look like when it's installed on a ball mount. A ball mount doesn't come included with your ball, but you can pick up various ball mounts here at etrailer.com to match it. You want to make sure that whatever weight rating your ball is, the rest of your components match it because you never want to exceed the towing capacity of the lowest amount. If your hitch is only rated for 8,000 pounds, but your ball mount and your ball are rated for 10,000, you don't want to tow more than 8,000 pounds.This is a two-inch ball with a one and a quarter inch diameter shank.
It has a 10,000 pound weight rating and a chrome finish to protect against rust and corrosion. You want to make sure when installing your ball in your ball mount that it has the appropriate size diameter hole that matches the shank for your ball. So, since this is one and a quarter, we want to make sure our ball mount has a one and a quarter opening.The ball itself is made of steel, so it's going to last you a long time. The length of the shank coming off of our ball is going to measure two and five eighths inches. This is important when determining if it's going to fit in your ball mount, and if you have any accessories that installs along with it that the shank will be long enough to properly install the nut and still have some threads poking through the bottom.
Some accessories you may want to install with your ball when putting it on you ball mount may be an anti-sway for a camper you're pulling behind you.Because this is a two-inch ball, it's going to work with two-inch couplers. If the coupler on your trailer has a different size, you can pick up those here at etrailer.com. Most common sizes are one and seven eighths, two inches, and two and five sixteenth inches.Brophy makes a two-inch hitch ball with a one and a quarter inch diameter shank. However, this ball is only 7,500 pounds and has a two and a quarter inch shank. So, our Curt here has not only a higher weight rating, but a slightly longer shank so it'll be a little bit more useful with more accessories and have higher towing capacities.Now, we'll show you how to get it installed on your ball mount.
We've got an older unit here, so as not to mar up a brand new unit. You'll want to install it in a vice as this does torque to a very high foot pounds. You'll set your ball mount on it in whatever position you'd like. So, we've got a drop or rise here, we're going to be putting it in the drop position.After you've got your mount on, you'll slide on the washer followed by the nut. We're going to a use a one and seven eighths inch socket for this ball here.
Same procedures are going to be similar for this ball mount as in any other ball mount. Although, your socket size and torque spec may vary. We'll then just torque it to the specifications.We can now take it out of the vice and we're ready to put it in our hitch. Now, if you don't have a bench vice to hold your ball, you can put an adjustable wrench on it, slide it into your hitch receiver, and that will just butt up against the side of it. Depending on your ball mount, it may vary if it would hit there, so what you can do is you can also turn it sideways and have that wrench swing up and hit on your receiver. You'll have your wrench on the ball mount side and your torque wrench on the nut side tighten it down.And, that completes our look at Curt's two-inch hitch ball with one and a quarter inch diameter shank.

Durable, chrome ball has a 1-1/4" diameter x 2-5/8" long shank with wrench flats. It's chrome finish provides superior strength and corrosion-resistance.After balking at the cost to have an auto-shop add a trailer to our Toyota Highlander, we found etrailer.com and decided to take a chance. The "how to" videos factored considerably in our decision to buy ... they made it look so easy! And surprise! It really -WAS- that easy. We used standard block-type ramps (the kind you can buy for $40 ) to get the SUV up off the ground high enough to get underneath to do the work. Everything came off as easy as it was showed in the videos. Other than the fact this bar is a heavy so we had our teen daughter help hold it steady while we bolted it into place (i.e., get help for when you go to lift it), it went super smooth. Thanks for saving us $280 over the cost the car dealer quoted us! P.S. - be sure to watch the linked videos so you get the right trailer lighting attachment and ball hitch for your new hitch. 510345
We are very happy with our trailer hitch, and all the accoutrements that we purchased with it. Your videos were enormously helpful, the hitch went on easily with a bit of help from our teenage daughter to lift it up into place, and we recommend your business to friends when they express an interest in getting a camper.
Anna - 05/20/2019My order was received on time and with everything that was ordered.The hitch has been put on my trailer and working great.Thanks to Suzanne and her knowledge of the product was excellent.Thank You. The 2" ball was just what I needed thought it may have not been available for the bigger hitch but thanks to Suzanne it was just what I needed.Thanks again and I'm sure if I ever need more from E Trailer I will be in touch. 162651
Very good product and easy to install. My configuration allowed the lift brackets that came with the order to be used, so I didn't have to order the bracket kit. The installation videos on the e-trailer were excellent. Delivery was also prompt, only four days for me. My trailer only required a 2" ball rather than the 2 5/16" ball supplied. I had trouble finding a 2" ball locally with a 1 1/4" diameter shank. I ordered this from e-trailer and again delivery was prompt. I did have to buy some larger wrenches to work with the 2" nuts on the balls so keep that in mind if your a due-it-yourselfer. The manual was pretty good, but I got more out of the videos. I little more description on the initial setting of the friction sway control would have been helpful (i.e. is the factory setting midway? lowest? highest)? 267227
Economy shipping was lightning fast! Product is just what I wanted; it is pulling my 7,500lb horse trailer with no problem. The other reviews that worry about the chrome scratching...I think most of us know that's a given when one places a few tons of metal on top. Great product so far! 159864
It has been a year and the hitch ball is holding up nicely! This was a great choice for my 7500lb trailer
Mike c - 11/07/2015I ordered 2 of these hitch bells, as they are hard to locate due to the large shank diameter. They are of good quality and the service and shipping time were excellent. 566918
FYI - you will need a 1 7/8" wrench. Heavy Duty 2" without using bushings on large hitches. Perfect condition when arrived 020514 450 ft. lbs torque on the nut. Woo-Wee. Eat your breakfast! 115787
3,000 miles on it in the past year. Zero issues. Still a 5 Star deal!
Joe R - 02/05/2015Simplicity is the key here. Very easy to order, customer service (Lisa D) asked a few questions about vehicle and what I needed to Tow, and like magic, she found this at a very good price which saved me $$$. It was very easy to install, heavy duty construction!! It shipped faster than other online sites could have done, a day and half later, UPS showed up with it. Back to installation, I watched the video and it worked as advertised. I never used one before, but it just works. Very satisfied. 552984
High quality. the nut is bigger than the balls with the 1" shank. I have a wrench for the nut on 1" shank but not this one, I was able to get it tight enough with a monkey wrench and a bench vice. you could probably get a wrench form harbor freight for cheep or take it somewhere and have them install it. 27248
To be honest I knew this was a good product and I only bought this because the price was the best I could find. With that being said I have never bought anything from etrailer before and they did not disappoint. Fast delivery and OUTSTANDING service. Carol C sent an email after I received product asking for comments and feedback thanking me for my purchase. Well here it is.......you guys are ROCK STARS!!! I WILL BE a customer again 6[star]s thanks 728939

Heavy duty! 727777
Great ball, well made and installs quic kly. 723099
Bought the 10k hitch ball and mount together. Quality seems very good. As both are rated at 10k pounds, they are heavy and the nut size for the ball is big, about 1 7/8". I don't have a wrench or socket to fit it, biggest I have is 1 1/2. Anyway, I borrowed a wrench to get it on and will buy a socket to fit. 721827
Great 718632
We have ordered multiple times from these guys and they are excellent!! Felt bad for us and gave us free upgraded shipping due to one of our guys losing a hitch on a job. Really can't say enough good things about them. Will exclusively only use them for all of our future needs!! Thanks again Pat C!! 718587
high quality heavy duty parts, kit should include a heavy duty pin. A couple chips on receiver when received coating chipped of to the base meatl. 717344
Exactly as ordered and expected! 711600
WOW! I wanted to purchase a really strong ball mount and this one exceeds my expectations! I also purchased in my order the folding wheel chocks which were made of metal. My plan is to mount those permanently on my car hauler trailer so that when I put the car on, I just drive up against these chocks. This makes loading my car super easy. I really like doing business with etrailer because every order I’ve ever placed his arrived quickly and been with products that are excellent quality. 715135

Over the last couple of years, I have purchased different parts for my towing needs from etrailer.com. The parts have ranged from hitch adapters to trailer tires. The customer service from Crystal K., and the quality of the products from etrailer.com have all been the very best that you could expect. I highly recommend that you at least consider etrailer.com for anything that you may need when you are towing or RV'ing. 686839

Everything is working as it should. Still has the chrome on the ball. 674851
Just right fit for the 2 1/2" hitch on my 2500 HD. Product was easy to find on etrailer site, price was great and order was here in a few days. You guys always come through! 672720
Needed this for wife's rig. Stronger ball for her horse trailer. The only down side is trying to make the 450 ft. lbs. torque specified for the nut. Looooong cheater bar I guess. 672092

Ball works great in my BlueOx hitch 652721
I purchased this ball to install on my Weight Distribution hitch. It fit perfectly in it's location. After one year of ownership, I'm satisfied with the performance. I check the nut torque every few trips and it has not loosened since installed. I enjoy doing business with etrailer. 651180
Great customer service and follow up! I ordered a ball and ball hitch and received both items within 48 hours. Items appeared to be very well made and durable! I’d definitely recommend this company to friends and family. 646526
