Today we're going to be taking a look at part number C40036. This is the Curt 2 and 5/16 inch hitch ball. Now, this hitch ball is a little bit different than normal hitch balls, it's going to have a high rise design. That's going to let you easily match the ball to your trailer height. The trailer hitch ball is going to sit 2 extra inches above the ball mount platform on your particular ball mount. Again, it's a nice design, it's a unique design, that really allows you to get the ball where you need it to haul your trailer the way that you want to, or the way that you should. The unit is going to feature a fine threaded system that's going to provide exceptionally tight, strong grip.
Steel construction with a nickel-chrome finish, that's going to do a good job at resisting rust and corrosion and lasting a long time. You are going to get the lock washer and the nut. Those items are included. The ball diameter on the unit, printed right here on top, that's going to be 2 and 5/16 of an inch. That's going to be rated at 10,000 pounds, so that's going to be the capacity. If we take a measurement of the shank length, that's measuring this portion right here, that's going to give us a length of 2 and 5/8 of an inch.
The shank is going to give us a diameter of an inch and 1/4. That's helpful to know depending on the ball mount that you want to install this on. The rise area, so this portion right here, that's going to give us that 2 inch measurement. Then from the bottom of the platform right here to the top of the hitch ball, that's going to give us a measurement that looks to be about 4 and 5/8 of an inch, which is going to give this unit an overall length measurement; looks to be about 7 and 1/4 of an inch. Really simple installation. You need to make sure that the ball mount that you're installing this on has the inch and 1/4 hole.
Slide the shank through the hole on your ball mount platform. On the underside of the platform is going to go the lock washer and the nut and then you'll need to follow the instructions and make sure that you get this torqued down to the specifications listed by the manufacturer. That's going to ensure that everything is tight and that the ball is going to stay onto the ball mount platform and that it's ready for towing. That's going to do it for today's look at part number C40036.

2-5/8" Long x 1-1/4" diameter shank featuring a ball with a 2" high rise above the platform. Fine threads provide superior strength, and the nickel chrome finish offers corrosion protection.USPS destroyed the package and the items fell out, so I received an empty box.
etrailer took care of it and sent replacements. Awesome service!
Dimensions are correct, photo is not. Photo is not a chromed ball; description is correct, it is chrome. After a couple of trips with a 6K# trailer, chrome is still in good condition, no peeling away (I did grease before attaching.). Nut fits a 1-13/16 wrench.
Got this riser ball as expected. A friend gave me this trailer but my hitch was about two inches to low. This 2" riser ball fixed the problem perfectly. I had a question so called for details on riser height. The lady I spoke with was very helpful told me about economy shipping rates that take a bit longer since I was in no hurry to get this. Overall I really like this company, their descriptions are detailed, they have little videos you can watch that help with making the right choice. They are very helpful on the phone if you need to call and they seem to have good prices as well. I will definitely order from them again. In fact, I plan to call tomorrow to get help deciding on mirrors for my truck.

Easy to use website to make purchases!! !!
Disappointed in the hardness of the metal. The ball has a lot of scarring, cuts, etc on it. Other than that it does what it is supposed to do
Exactly as advertised, shipped quickly and I am very pleased with my purchase.

After a year and several long trips with a heavy trailer, chrome is not peeling and remains in good condition. Note that I use axle grease liberally on trailer balls! Also, I have had no issue with the lock washer and nut provided staying tight.
