This is one massive hitch ball. Just one look and you know it is strong. I also love the little extra height. A great fit for my 2 5/16 coupler.

Still great.

This gave me the added lift I needed so the trailer did not hit the truck bed.



by:

Awesome staff - very helpful - great to work with - shipment was quick also/ received earlier then forecasted…



by:

This 1" height extended hitch ball works perfect to keep my trailer level. I needed a 3" drop but couldn't find a heavy duty ball mount that would work so I purchased a 4" drop mount and this 1" high hitch ball. I wish it was available in a non-raw version, the raw ball does rust up easily on the surface.

This extended ball continues to work perfectly after over 10,000 miles of use.

excellent service



by:

These are great weld on kingpins



by:

I was expecting a plain raw steel hitch ball but what I received was really nice looking stout hitch ball. I do realize it is just a hitch ball but I am very impressed with the quality of this so called raw hitch ball. I've purchased quite a few items from etrailer and have never been disappointed with the quality not to mention the prices. Keep up the good work.



by:

Needed a 5 inch drop hitch but without an adjustable one it doesnt exist. This coupled with a 6 inch drop worked out perfectly. etrailer is the first place Ive ever see a hitch ball with built in riser.



by:

Very high quality ball. Well built, not a cheapy from the discount store. I purchased it with a weight distribution hitch. Very pleased with it.



by:

I've used etrailer on numerous times and generally avoid these reviews, but they are a very solid good helpful organization to deal with. This is a small order compared to 3 years of past orders. Save yourself some time and trouble and just buy from them. You'll be pleased at the service. Jack

EXCELLENT QUALITY,PROMPT SERVICE AND FAIR PRICING PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP WHAT I'M
LOOKING FOR IN A VENDOR FOR MY PARTS ROOM AND SO FAR ETRAILER DELIVERS ON ALL
ACCOUNTS.
THANKS!



by:

The heavy duty hitch and other parts that I received from etrailer were exactly what I ordered and at a good price. The delivery was fast and nothing damaged. Thanks etrailer I will be buying from you again.



by:

Excellent product. It gave me some leeway on the trailer set back for the WD hitch.



by:

Worked great, solved a problem, no more dragging trailer jacks.



by:

I needed a 3-1/2" drop, bought this and used it with a 4" drop Ball Mount.....perrrefect!



by:

I think the demco actuator is grate



by:

Was just what I needed to get the trailer tongue away from my weight distribution hitch. Previous ball was too low, allowing the trailer tongue to impact my hitch!



by:

Quality of product is excellent. Curt hitches are heavy duty and will last a lifetime. My second purchase from etrailer.com. The description and knowledge of their products is exceptional. Very satisfied.



by:

Solid! Ordered Friday, Received Monday.



by:

The product came as described on the sales page. All of the parts were there and the hitch went together easily. I have not pressed the hitch into production yet but fully expect the hitch to preform well, when I do.



by:

Best prices, fast delivery. I have been referring customers who need hitch parts to go the etrailer.com. Nobody has called me back with a complaint and most thank me for telling them about the etrailer website,
Trailer Toad LLC



by:

Great towing system. Easy to follow instructions and a great addition to my 33 ft Toy Hauler. I would recommend this towing system with a 5 star ratting.



by:

Just arrived in mail and it Looks great.With a 1” rise ball and 4”drop hitch puts trailer in just the right spot (level with tractor loaded on trailer)!!!!

  • Availability Of Weight Distribution System For Trailer With 2000lb Tongue Weight
    There is one weight distribution hitch option that is rated for the 2000lb tongue weight you mentioned, but it will require you to replace the trailer hitch receiver on your 2021 Ford F-350 Dual Rear Wheel. The TorkLift SuperHitch Everest Weight Distribution System - 30,000 lbs GTW, 3,000 lbs TW # TLWD1000 will work with tongue weights ranging from 1500-3000lbs but will only work with their TorkLift Magnum Dual Receiver Trailer Hitch Receivers. For your 2021 Ford F-350 you would need...

  • Class V Trailer Hitch, Weight Distribution, Brake Control for 1988 Ford F-250 Towing 10K Trailer
    The fuel tank should not be a problem provided that the bottom of the frame where a hitch like # DT45502 installs is clear on your 1988 Ford F-250. If a hitch were rated right at 10K and the trailer was 10K I do recommend going to a higher capacity high for safety. But it also depends on the towing capacity of the truck because if the truck is rated lower than the hitch you still have to go by that lower rating. Weight distribution is recommended if the trailer is at least half of the...

  • Weight Distribution/Sway Control for 2008 Toyota Tundra Towing 2016 Grand Design 308BHTS
    The key to selecting a weight distribution (WD) and sway control (SC) system is to know the trailer's actual fully-loaded tongue weight (TW) when it is carrying all your usual supplies and equipment, with its water tank filled, etc. We offer a handy scale # e99044 to simplify measuring TW but the linked article offers other methods as well. To this figure you will add the weight of anything in the truck bed that sits behind the rear axle, such as a loaded cooler or generator. With this...

  • Recommended Way to Secure the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40086 While Torqueing it Down
    If you have access to a large vice I would wrap the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40086 in a thicker shop rag and then use the vice to really crank down tight on it to keep it from spinning while torqueing the nut.

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation for a Trailer with 1,300 lbs Tongue Weight
    I would recommend the Strait-Line System part # RP66130 as it has a tongue weight range of 800 lbs - 1,500 lbs and has the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts. For a shank you would want the part # RP54970 and then for a hitch ball # C40086. Overall this would be the best setup you could use for a trailer with a tongue weight of 1,290 lbs.

  • How to Choose the Correct Ball Mount and Hitch Ball for a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
    Before purchasing a ball mount and a hitch ball you should measure the height of your trailer hitch and compare that to the height of your coupler. I have attached an article that shows how to measure your hitch height and coupler height to find the correct rise or drop you need in a ball mount. Once you have determined the rise or drop that you need, you will want to choose a ball mount with the correct rise or drop that is rated for the weight of your trailer. It sounds like you currently...

  • Blue Ox Weight Distribution for an 8,700 Pound Travel Trailer
    To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. Trailer tongue weight alone is usually 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. So on a trailer that weighs 8,700 pounds that would be a tongue weight of 870 to 1,305 pounds. Based on this a 1,000 pound...

  • Best Way to Use Two Different Weight Distribution Systems for Different Weight Trailers
    For the price of piecing together a second lower rated WD system your best option is going to be to get the part # RP66130, a second system rated for your other trailer without a shank like the part # RP66022 and then a single shank for both systems to use like part # RP54970. The reason I recommended a higher rated system than what you asked about is that tongue weight is typically 10-15 percent of total trailer weight and your trailer is going to be 7,500 lbs. For a 2-5/16 inch ball...

This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Tow Hauler with Tongue Weights from 500 to 1,500 Pounds
    Since the tongue weight of your trailer will vary from around 500 pounds up to 1,500 pounds I recommend getting one system and an additional set of spring bars so that you can cover that whole range. There isn't a system that covers that whole range with just one set of spring bars. I recommend starting with Reese Strait-Line system # RP66083 rated for 400 to 800 pounds tongue weight for when the trailer is empty and your tongue weight is around 500 pounds. Then, when the tongue weight...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity Range of a Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System 66084
    The Reese Strait-Line weight distribution system # RP66084 is rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds tongue weight. So even at 1,050 pounds you would still be within the capacity of the system. the next system up in capacity, # RP66130, is rated for 800 to 1,500 pounds tongue weight so it would work too. But, # RP66130 does not come with a shank so you would need to add one. I have included a link to the shanks you could use. For either system you would need a ball, # 19286 for the 1,200 pound...

  • Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System for Trailer with 1,000 Pound Dry Tongue Weight
    Since the tongue weight capacity of the truck maxes out at 1,500 pounds there is no reason to go with a system that is rated beyond that because you will have to keep the trailer's tongue weight under that 1,500 pound limit. So I recommend the 800 to 1,500 pound system, # RP66130. There are 2-1/2 inch shanks you can use with this system. the Reese model is # RP54977. All that is left is a ball. For a 2-5/16 inch ball that will fit the above system I recommend # C40086. I have included...

The key to choosing a weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) system is to know the trailer's actual fully-loaded road-ready tongue weight, with all gear and supplies in place.

  • Is Curt TruTrack # C17500 Weight Distribution System Good for Car Hauler with 1000-lb Tongue Weight
    All weight distribution (WD) systems like the Curt TruTrack # C17500 work over a tongue weight (TW) range of several hundred pounds. This particular system works with TW from 800 to 1000-lbs and ideally the total TW should fall right in the middle of the system's operating range. A trailer's TW will usually be about 10 to 15-percent of its gross weight; this TW value tends to deliver the smoothest handling with the least trailer sway. At 8000-lbs gross trailer weight your TW could be anywhere...

    For most weight distribution, I recommend going all out and just purchasing a full kit with the sway control and weight distribution all together. This saves time, money, and most importantly, frustration. You want to verify the tongue weight of your loaded trailer, which will include the weight of any cargo or gear added to the trailer, plus anything stored behind the REAR axle that you'll use during your trip. Think of this as the "Leaving today" weight. Because of the tongue weight...
