Video Transcript for Curt Long Shank Hitch Ball Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at Curt's two-inch hitch ball with a one and a quarter inch diameter shank. Part number A-90. This is what our ball's going to look like when it's installed on a ball mount. A ball mount doesn't come included with your ball, but you can pick up various ball mounts here at etrailer.com to match it. You want to make sure that whatever weight rating your ball is, the rest of your components match it because you never want to exceed the towing capacity of the lowest amount. If your hitch is only rated for 8,000 pounds, but your ball mount and your ball are rated for 10,000, you don't want to tow more than 8,000 pounds.This is a two-inch ball with a one and a quarter inch diameter shank.
It has a 10,000 pound weight rating and a chrome finish to protect against rust and corrosion. You want to make sure when installing your ball in your ball mount that it has the appropriate size diameter hole that matches the shank for your ball. So, since this is one and a quarter, we want to make sure our ball mount has a one and a quarter opening.The ball itself is made of steel, so it's going to last you a long time. The length of the shank coming off of our ball is going to measure two and five eighths inches. This is important when determining if it's going to fit in your ball mount, and if you have any accessories that installs along with it that the shank will be long enough to properly install the nut and still have some threads poking through the bottom.
Some accessories you may want to install with your ball when putting it on you ball mount may be an anti-sway for a camper you're pulling behind you.Because this is a two-inch ball, it's going to work with two-inch couplers. If the coupler on your trailer has a different size, you can pick up those here at etrailer.com. Most common sizes are one and seven eighths, two inches, and two and five sixteenth inches.Brophy makes a two-inch hitch ball with a one and a quarter inch diameter shank. However, this ball is only 7,500 pounds and has a two and a quarter inch shank. So, our Curt here has not only a higher weight rating, but a slightly longer shank so it'll be a little bit more useful with more accessories and have higher towing capacities.Now, we'll show you how to get it installed on your ball mount.
We've got an older unit here, so as not to mar up a brand new unit. You'll want to install it in a vice as this does torque to a very high foot pounds. You'll set your ball mount on it in whatever position you'd like. So, we've got a drop or rise here, we're going to be putting it in the drop position.After you've got your mount on, you'll slide on the washer followed by the nut. We're going to a use a one and seven eighths inch socket for this ball here.
Same procedures are going to be similar for this ball mount as in any other ball mount. Although, your socket size and torque spec may vary. We'll then just torque it to the specifications.We can now take it out of the vice and we're ready to put it in our hitch. Now, if you don't have a bench vice to hold your ball, you can put an adjustable wrench on it, slide it into your hitch receiver, and that will just butt up against the side of it. Depending on your ball mount, it may vary if it would hit there, so what you can do is you can also turn it sideways and have that wrench swing up and hit on your receiver. You'll have your wrench on the ball mount side and your torque wrench on the nut side tighten it down.And, that completes our look at Curt's two-inch hitch ball with one and a quarter inch diameter shank.

After balking at the cost to have an auto-shop add a trailer to our Toyota Highlander, we found etrailer.com and decided to take a chance. The "how to" videos factored considerably in our decision to buy ... they made it look so easy! And surprise! It really -WAS- that easy. We used standard block-type ramps (the kind you can buy for $40 ) to get the SUV up off the ground high enough to get underneath to do the work. Everything came off as easy as it was showed in the videos. Other than the fact this bar is a heavy so we had our teen daughter help hold it steady while we bolted it into place (i.e., get help for when you go to lift it), it went super smooth. Thanks for saving us $280 over the cost the car dealer quoted us! P.S. - be sure to watch the linked videos so you get the right trailer lighting attachment and ball hitch for your new hitch. 510345
Comments
We are very happy with our trailer hitch, and all the accoutrements that we purchased with it. Your videos were enormously helpful, the hitch went on easily with a bit of help from our teenage daughter to lift it up into place, and we recommend your business to friends when they express an interest in getting a camper.

Economy shipping was lightning fast! Product is just what I wanted; it is pulling my 7,500lb horse trailer with no problem. The other reviews that worry about the chrome scratching...I think most of us know that's a given when one places a few tons of metal on top. Great product so far! 159864

Bought the 10k hitch ball and mount together. Quality seems very good. As both are rated at 10k pounds, they are heavy and the nut size for the ball is big, about 1 7/8". I don't have a wrench or socket to fit it, biggest I have is 1 1/2. Anyway, I borrowed a wrench to get it on and will buy a socket to fit. 721827

WOW! I wanted to purchase a really strong ball mount and this one exceeds my expectations! I also purchased in my order the folding wheel chocks which were made of metal. My plan is to mount those permanently on my car hauler trailer so that when I put the car on, I just drive up against these chocks. This makes loading my car super easy. I really like doing business with etrailer because every order I’ve ever placed his arrived quickly and been with products that are excellent quality. 715135

- Weight Distribution Recommendation for Trailer with Loaded Tongue Weight of 700 lbThe best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. If your loaded tongue weight is 700...

The best option for you will depending on the gross trailer weight (GTW) and tongue weight (TW) of your trailer. As long as the GTW and TW of your trailer does not exceed 5,000 lbs and 500 lbs respectively, the Titan Hitch Box Extension part # RP45018 will work well for you as long as you trim the bar down to 41". If the GTW and TW of your trailer exceeds the above 5,000lb/500lb rating...

This will let you mount the weight distribution system on your trailer tongue and can be positioned 27 to 32 inches back from the hitch ball. I have included an image that gives you a better idea as to how this will work. Then for the actual weight distribution system, we will first want to take an estimate...

- Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 6,400 lb Trailer to Replace Andersen SystemThe Andersen system you have now is pretty quiet but it's downside is that anything over 500 lbs of tongue weight is too much for the system to help. So your trailer being a total of 6,400 lbs means your tongue weight would be most like between 640 lbs and 960 lbs if you were loaded to the absolute max. That means the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System # RP66559 would be a great choice as it has a tongue weight range of 500-1,000 lbs. Spring bar systems are much more effective...

They are both designed for 2 inch trailer hitch receivers, have a 10,000 pound towing weight capacity, feature a long, 13-1/4 inch shank and will give you either a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop. The primary difference between the two units is the ball hole diameter. The # BH20 has a 1-1/4 inch ball hole diameter, which will be compatible with a hitch ball with this same...

To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer, which you can use part # 5780 for, 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%...

This system's spring bars are 2-1/4-inches shorter, at 28-3/8-inches, than most other bars and so they can be the best option when there is limited space at the trailer tongue. All you need to add is a hitch ball, either 2-inch # A-90 or 2-5/16-inch # 19286. If your trailer nose blocks access to the side of the trailer frame where the spring bar brackets need...

As long as your loaded weight is 8,800 lbs and your loaded tongue weight is within the recommended 10-15% tongue weight range then you just need to confirm with the manufacturer that this is okay to use for your application.

- Comparing Fastway E2 Trunnion and Round Bar Weight Distribution HitchesThe ground clearance difference between Fastway round bar and trunnion bar weight distribution systems is about an inch at the head so it isn't much at all. And since you need to have it set up in the rise position you could go either way and have decent ground clearance. If it were me though I would still go with the trunnion system, # FA92-00-0600, for 2 reasons. First inserting the trunnion bars into the head is easier compared to round bar systems (though neither one is all that...

- Best Weight Distribution With Sway Control for Trailer With 1,100 lbs Total Tongue WeightThe BlueOx SwayPro # BXW1506 is a good system but I recommend the Reese Strait-Line # RP66130 over it. While both systems will be less noisy than the Equal-i-zer you referred to, the Strait-Line has the advantage because of its sway control system. The SwayPro uses a 4-point sway control system like the Equal-i-zer but the Strait-Line uses a dual cam system to prevent sway. This system's spring bars are suspended by this cam system (see accompanying photo) which ensures that the Strait-Line...

view full answer... - What is the Best Solution to Stop Trailer Sway While Towing with a New Ford F-150The best solution for you to help prevent and eliminate trailer sway while towing at speed is to use a weight distribution system even if the truck does not sag while coupled to the trailer. The reason for this is that most weight distribution systems have integrated sway control built-in. Also, the truck may still be sagging slightly even if it is not noticeable and that could be the reason one truck pulls a trailer better than the other. The two main reasons one truck would pull a trailer...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Recommendation Towing Jayco White Hawk 29BHBoth round and trunnion bar systems are equally as effective, but a round bar system won't have as much ground clearance under it as a trunnion bar system. This is because the bars attach to the weight distribution head from underneath. If your tow vehicle is a full sized pick-up or SUV, a round bar system would work just fine. If you're towing with a small crossover or a minivan (anything with little ground clearance) you'd definitely want to go with a trunnion bar system. Typically the...

It has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind concerning tongue weights (TW) in your setup. First, typically a boat trailer can have low-ish TW due to the rear-positioned motor's weight lifting the trailer tongue. When placing tanks, toys and other items in the boat for transport you want to do so such that you can maintain a suitable amount of TW, 10 to 15-percent of the boat/trailer combined gross weight.
