• Is There High Rise 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball that Fits 1 inch Diameter Ball Hole
  Hey Craig, since the 1 inch diameter ball mount shank is used on lower capacity ball mounts there aren't any 2-5/16 inch hitch balls made for that size hole that also have a 1 inch rise built into them. It's basically such a rare request for that setup there aren't any options. So that means you have a coupler options. You could replace your current ball mount with one that has 1 inch more rise in it so that you can use a standard hitch ball or you could replace your ball mount with one...

• Where Can I Get A Torque Wrench That Goes Up To 450 ft/lbs?
  Honestly, Joah, if I were you I would try to find a shop in your area that has a heavy-duty torque wrench and breaker bar. 450 ft/lbs is quite a bit and most typical torque wrenched don't got that high. Sometimes if you can find a shop that has one they will let you use it for free, or there might be a hardware store near you that rents them out. You could probably buy one online but they can be expensive so that might not be practical if you only intend to use it once.

• 2 inch Ball Mount Solution Where Ball Platform is Same Height as Hitch Pin
  Hey Robert, so the way we determine rise and drop is basically what you described. Zero would be the same height as the top of the trailer hitch opening. What you are looking for we would call a drop of 1 inch. Unfortunately we don't have that exact rise/drop. So your best option would still be what we list as a zero drop like the part # AMSC2 with a high rise ball part # C40033 which would put the ball height right where you are wanting. This is a 2 inch ball. If instead you need a 2-5/16...

• Availability Of 2-5/6 Hitch Balls With Rise
  I have another option for you, but you are correct that all of the 2-5/6" hitch balls with a rise use a shank that is larger than 1". Instead I recommend using the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1" Rise - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-5/8" Long Shank - 10,000 lbs # C40035 or 2" Rise # C40036. Both of these options use a 1-1/4" shank so you would need to replace your current ball mount. I included a link to all of our ball mounts that use a 1-1/4" shank, and a link to a helpful article that goes over how...

• 10k Rated Ball Mount Recommendation with 4 inches of Drop
  Before you pick out a ball mount you will need to make sure you know exactly how much rise/drop you would need for your trailer to be towed level. I attached a help article that details exactly how to do this. But for a 3 inch drop with a 10k rating you would want the Ball Mount # DT40201. This ball mount has 4 inches of drop, so to make up the additional inch you would want the high rise hitch ball part # C40035 which is a 2-5/16 inch ball with a 10k rating.
