Video Transcript for Complete Breakdown of the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a 2-5/16" hitch ball from Draw-Tite. This hitch ball installs onto a ball mount and provides a connection point for your trailer's coupler. It's made from a durable, cold-forged steel construction with corrosion resistant chrome finishing. It does come with the lock washer and the nut, so all that's included. The fine thread design provides a very tight, strong grip. The wrench flats make it easy to hold the ball in place while tightening the nut.

You can use a 2" wrench here at the flats. Again, the ball diameter is 2-5/16". Weight capacity is engraved right here on the top of the ball, 20,000 pounds.When it comes to the shank, this shank has a diameter of 1-1/4". It has a length measurement of 2-3/4" long. This is designed to fit a drawbar thickness of 3/8" to 1" thick.

The nut is a 1-7/8" nut with a torque rating of 450 foot pounds. The product's covered with a limited lifetime warranty and when installing this, you would place this through the ball hole on the drawbar. Then, on the underside of the drawbar, you place on the split lock washer followed by the nut. Then, you can just go ahead and get everything hand tight. Then, you can use a socket and wrench to get everything tightened down to the proper torque ratings as specified in the instructions.That's going to do it for today's look at the 2-5/16" hitch ball from Draw-Tite..

  • Comparison of Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems for Trailer with 800 Pounds Tongue Weight
    Both the # FA94-00-1061 and the # FA92-00-1000 weight distribution systems are rated for 1,000 pounds of tongue weight which is a good choice for your trailer that has 800 pounds of tongue weight. The difference between the two is that the # FA92-00-1000 uses trunion spring bars and # FA94-00-1061 uses round spring bars. There isn't much advantage either way except trunion bars connect to the head by sliding directly into it and round bars come in from the bottom. The benefit is that...

  • Heavy Duty Tow Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Ford F-350
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15810 which is a fit for your 2008 Ford F-350 will allow you to tow your 2000 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite 30SKS without the use of a weight distribution system assuming the figures you provided on the trailer are correct. This hitch has a 20,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 2,700 lb tongue weight (TW) rating with a 2-1/2" receiver tube opening. According to the instructions for this hitch, the professional installation time is 30 minutes...

  • Weight Distribution System for Trailer with Covered A-Frame
    The Pole-Tongue Adapter for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems part # EQ95-01-5950 is designed to be used on straight-tongue trailers and would not work with your a-frame trailer. Since you said that the tongue of your a-frame is covered by the nose of the trailer you will want to consider a system that uses chains and attaches directly to the sides of the frame rails rather than clamping around them. For this, I recommend the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control part #...

  • Recommended Fastway Weight Distribution For 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB Trailer
    For your 2006 Buick Rainier and your 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB, the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # FA94-00-0600 may be sufficient, however, I recommend bumping up to the # FA94-00-0800. This system will give you the same minimum tongue weight, but will allow for up to an 800 lb tongue weight. Based on the specs for your trailer, if you were loaded to capacity you could have a trailer tongue weight of up to 525 lbs, and that...

  • Recommended WD System for a 17,000 lb GVWR Trailer Towed by a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
    When choosing a Weight Distribution (WD) system you will want to find one with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer along with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Keep in mind that a properly loaded trailer will have a TW that is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. Since...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System and Sway Bar for 3 Horse Trailer
    Thanks for all the information and attempt to show me a comparable trailer. I was able to find one online to assist with the visual. For your trailer I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 15K GTW, 1.5K TW # C17422. This is based on the fact you already have the pop up brackets and the weights you mentioned for your trailer. This system already comes with the pre-torqued 2-5/16 inch hitch ball and it comes with the friction sway...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 14,000 lb
    You'd need a high rated weight distribution system for a trailer that weighs 14k. We have the Blue Ox SwayPro kit part # BWX2000 which has a tongue weight range of 1,500 - 2,000 lbs which would be about right for your 14k rated trailer. For a hitch ball you'd then want the part # 63840. Due to your large frame dimensions you'd have to swap out the chain hangers for the # BXW4021 which you can bolt to the side of the trailer frame.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation for 2021 Jayco Feather Light 183
    Yes. We do recommend using a weight distribution hitch on your 2021 Jayco Feather Light 183 to obtain the most control and peace of mind when traveling. In addition to control, it dramatically increases overall safety of your setup. From the available specs I have of your trailer, it has a gross weight of 4,150 lbs and a loaded tongue weight between 415-623 pounds. With that weight, I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800...

  • Weight Distribution for Dump Trailer with 8 Inch Tall I-Beam Frame
    I do have a great option for you but a Reese system is not going to be the best choice in this case. You will need to box the trailer frame where the weight distribution brackets will go by having steel plates welded on. What you can use is an Equal-I-zer system, # EQ37120ET as an example, and then add 2 outer link plates, # EQ90-02-5378, sold in quantities of 1, and 2 inner link plates, # EQ90-02-5208, also sold in quantities of 1. That would allow you to use the system on an 8 inch...

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Controller Recommendation for a 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali
    Based on the excellent information you have given me, I estimate about 8,500 to 9,000 pounds total. What I want to focus on is all of the weight that will be behind the rear axle of the 2005 GMC Yukon Denali. So we can subtract 230 pounds for you, a 120 pound wife, 260 pounds of kids and dogs. The gear, water, gas I assume will be in the cargo area of the Yukon or on the trailer so that is still factored in. That puts the total behind the rear axle at about 8,000 pounds. Trailer tongue...

    The sway control ball on the Replacement Weight Distribution Bolt-Together Round Bar Head # PS58442 can be used with two balls and you can use the balls on either side of the head assembly (see picture). This replacement head fits Pro Series weight distribution systems # PS49583, # PS49582, # PS49901 The adjustable shank # C17100 is not included with this product, but it does come with the bolts, the nuts and the washers to get that installed and attached to the weight distribution shank....

    The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 which is rated for up to 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 1,000 lbs tongue weight would work but it wouldn't perform as well as the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17499 which is rated for 8,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 800 lbs tongue weight on a 5,000 lbs trailer which will likely have an actual tongue weight once loaded anywhere from 500 lbs - 750 lbs.

  • Recommended Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System for Coleman Trailer and Brake Controller
    The Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0800 has a weight capacity of 800 lbs as you mentioned, but weight distribution systems are rated for total tongue weight and have a range. The total tongue weight is the loaded trailer tongue weight plus any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. If your loaded Coleman trailer is 540 lbs, then this system will work really well as your total tongue weight will be in the middle of its 400-800 lbs capacity. If you want slightly better ground clearance...

  • Trailer Hitches and Wiring for a 1993 Chevy 1500 Truck and 1999 Chevy Suburban
    You would not be able to move a trailer hitch back and forth between the 1999 Suburban and 1993 Chevy 1500 because the hitches are different between these vehicles and are not interchangeable. Also, you would have to get new hardware every time. The hardware is meant to only be torqued down once and not reused. For the 1999 Chevy Suburban the most popular hitch is # C14029. For the truck the most popular option (for models with standard or step bumper) is # C14081. The recommended ball...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud
    In order to choose the correct weight distribution system, you will need to find the total tongue weight (TTW) of your towing setup by adding the tongue weight (TW) of both your loaded ready to tow trailer and any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. An easy way to find this would involve using a tongue weight scale like the Trailer Tongue Weight Scale part # e99044. When choosing a weight distribution system, you will want your TTW to fall in the middle of the weight...

  • Best Weight Distribution System for a 12,000 lbs Toy Hauler
    Hey Rob! Weight distribution systems are based off of tongue weight which is 10%-15% of your trailer's total weight so that would put a regular trailer between 12,900 lbs and 1,900 lbs. Since yours is a toy hauler you're not going to get close to the 15% when you're loaded up because the weight of whatever you're hauling is going to be behind your rear axle. With this in mind, I recommend the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # RP66075. This system has a tongue weight...

  • Will the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 Clear the Bumper on a 2016 Jeep Renegade.
    I contacted my tech contact at Curt and the distance from the hitch pin hole on the Curt # C13269 hitch to the bumper is 4-1/2". The center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the gusset on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 80248 is 5-3/4" which means this ball mount sticks out enough to where it will not hit the bumper on your 2016 Jeep Renegade in the rise or drop position. If you are looking for a pin and clip for this ball mount, I recommend the Draw-Tite Pin and Clip # PC3. If you need...

  • Recommended Best Sway Control Weight Distribution System for 680 lb Tongue Weight
    For the best system for your 680 lb tongue weight, whether that is loaded or dry weight is the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RP66084. This is due to the way the system is designed to not only control sway, but actively fight it. The spring bars and dual cams are designed to keep constant pressure on the alignment of your trailer to prevent sway before it occurs. Other systems do a good job of limiting sway, but the Strait-Line is proactive. For this system you...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C14360 Fit a 2005 Ford F-150
    The # C14360 is for the 2006-2008 Ford F-150 without the factory receiver. For a Class IV hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2005 Ford F-150 I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14357. This hitch has a 2" receiver with a maximum gross trailer weight of 10,000 lbs and tongue weight of 1,000 lbs. just like the # C14360. Keep in mind, if you have a factory hitch installed this will not fit your truck. If you plan on doing some towing and don't have wiring, I recommend the Curt...

  • Weight Distribution Trailer Hitch For Boat Trailer With 600-1,000LBS of Tongue Weight
    You should not attempt to add weight solely to the rear of the trailer to get the tongue weight below the 500lb tongue weight limit on your receiver of your 2017 Ford F-150. Messing with the weight this way will likely cause the trailer to sway, which could likely lead to an accident. We do have a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch # FA92-00-1000 in stock that you would be able to get in time to pick up your boat.

The tongue weight is generally a little over 10% of the gross towing weight which would put your trailers tongue weight around 600 pounds. When using a weight distribution system...
