2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ 1" Rise - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-1/2" Long Shank - Raw - 24K

Its a good quality ball, threads were smoother than the curt and drawtite balls,

Price and shipping as always great with etrailer. good rating. The extra inch part looks good and strong. Im new to the B&W name, after buying some of their products i will only be buying that name brand, and its made in the USA.

Pro and cons imo
IT needs flats on ball base part where you can put a wrench/adjustable on. Doesn't need much, this would keep you from using a pipe wrench to hold ball while you tighten the nut.

Ball needs to be anodized to keep it from rusting. The B&W ball mounts has a high quality black powder coating. Yea the ball itself will rust no mater what when used, but the rest would be protected.

Hope my review helps

Work like a charm 1695626

Impressive piece of steel, top quality. Just started using it, absolutely no issues. Uses a 1-7/8" bolt and tightened up without issue. B&W recommends spraying it with white lithium grease for corrosion prevention. With a 24,000 lbs. rating it's definitely not going to be the weak link in your towing setup.114242

Needed this heavy ball for a 14k trailer bumper pull. Works good. Strongest rating for the shank size around. No complaints1659009

The B&W 2 5/16" ball is of a high quality build, just what I would expect. My only concern is that the base of the ball has no flat grab sides for a wrench to hold it still while the nut is being tightened. Once I got it as tight as I could, both the nut, shank and ball rotated as one. I did not want to use a pipe wrench to hold the base of the ball and gouge tool marks into the metal and finish. Something with this much weight rating, I think, should be able to be tightened down to a recommended torque spec, which was absent from the mounting instructions. I tightened it as much as I could and put a torque stripe along the mount, nut and threads... So far, it has not moved. Other than that, I think its great.525449

s a full tim RVer, I've had the hitch now for about 14 months and have to say with the exception of it not coming apart on me, I'm pretty disappointed with the condition. Ive got about 10k plus miles on it. See attached photos. Its very noisy. It likes to slam forward and aft. They put pucks on the side to side but not forward to aft. The paint almost immediately started to flake with in one month of use and continued to..to-date. The bolt holding the yoke preventing forward and aft movement sherred with only 80 inch lbs of torque...twice. the factory and the replacement they sent me. Finally I had to upgrade the bolt to a harder bolt to alow me to get to the required torque of 100 inch pounds. The bolt has to be torqued every trip. Long trips...every day. The design distributes the load on the flat bed and bends bends the bed. Unfortunately, there is not much out there to choose from so its give and take. Its done the job but would like to see it hold up better and see some design changes. I just ordered a new base today so we will see how it does.884265
