Today we're going to be taking a look at Curt's two-inch hitch ball with the shank measuring three inches long and one inch in diameter. Most ball mounts don't come with a hitch ball and this is because the manufacturer doesn't know what size coupler your trailer has, so you can purchase the appropriate size ball for your trailer. This Curt ball is going to be perfect for your two-inch hitch and will work with any ball mount that has a one inch diameter hole.The extra-long shank on our ball will allow it to work with ball mount platforms up to two inches thick. The ball itself has a 6,000 pound gross towing capacity and that's how much it can pull. Now in selecting a ball you want to make sure that all of your numbers coincide. Your entire tow setup is only going to be as good as its lowest rated component.
So that includes your hitch, your ball mount and your ball.Now we'll show you how to install your ball into your ball mount. So we'll take the lock washer, slide it on the other side, followed by the nut. Now you want to place the ball into a vise and then you can tighten down your nut the rest of the way. Now this does have a pretty high torque. If you've got a decent torque wrench you should be capable of torquing it.
And just tighten it down. You can find your torque specifications on the instructions that come with your ball.Now it is very important that this ball is torqued down properly. If you are unable to torque it to the specifications that it calls for, you can take it to your local shop or hitch dealer and they can typically tighten it down for you. Customers on our website compare this to Brophy's two-inch hitch ball and in most ways these two balls are pretty close to being identical to one another but our Curt is going to have a higher weight capacity of 6,000 pounds versus the Brophy's 5,000.The Brophy does have a zinc plated finish instead of a chrome plated finish found on our Curt but they look about the same and they'll both be resistant against rust. And that completes our look at Curt's two-inch hitch ball with a shank that measures three inches long and one inch in diameter..
