Today, we're going to review part number EBMK2416. This is the etrailer.com ball mount kit for the Class IV 2-inch hitch receivers. This ball mount kit will include all the parts pictured here. It includes the ball mount which is the Draw-Tite part number 40331. It includes the pin and clip which is part number PC3. It includes the 2 hitch balls.
We have this 2-inch hitch ball which is the Curt A-90 and the 2-5/16 hitch ball which is the Tow Ready part number 63840. Then, we also include the etrailer.com ball mount bag, part number ETBMB. Do you want to go over each one of these parts here We'll start with the ball mount. The ball mount is a one-piece forged construction. It is a solid shank, as you can see right here, very heavy in weight. It has a nice double powder coat finish.
It does fit the 2-inch class IV hitch receivers. It is designed, if you see the hole here, to be used as a hitch ball of a 1-1/4 inch shank diameter which both of these would be. The measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole would be 9-1/4 inches. Now, it does provide 4 inches of drop which you can see in that position right here as measured from the top of the ball platform to the top of the shank, so it'll give you 4 inches of drop. If you do flip it over and put it in the rise position, measure from the top of the platform to here will give you a maximum rise of 3 inches. Now, this ball mount is rated up to 16,000 pounds gross towing weight capacity and up to 2,400 pounds ton weight capacity.
The ball platform itself is 1 inch thick and 3 inches wide, so it does require a hitch ball shank that is at least 2-1/4 inches long, and again, both of these will fit that. If you'll notice on the very back of the shank it has an angled cut to it and that will help as far as loading in to the hitch receiver opening. Now, so far we have the hitch balls. We have the 2-inch size. This is a Curt hitch ball 2-inch size. The diameter is 2 inches, but the shank diameter is 1-1/4 inches.
The shank length is 2-5/8 inches. It is designed to fit a ball mount, which is a 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick, which this one would work fine. It does have a weight capacity of 10,000 pounds. The other hitch ball is the Tow Ready. This is a 2-5/16 diameter hitch ball. The shank diameter down here is 1-1/4 inches. The shank length is 2-3/4 inches. Again, this is designed to fit ball mounts from 3/8 inch to 1 inch thick, which this one would work fine. It has a capacity of 20,000 pounds and they do both come with their lock washer and the nut to install them with. Now, we also have the pin and clip, which is this part right here. Once you install this into your hitch receiver, you slide the pin and clip through the hitch opening to lock it in to your hitch receiver. Now, all these parts can be stored in the etrailer.com ball mount bag. This will conveniently store your ball mounts or also works great for any trailering equipment like tie down straps, bungee cords, things like that. It is made of a durable nylon construction, which will provide years of use. At the top here you can see it has a no-hassle zipper closure. There's also a handle for transporting it around, right up here. The bag dimensions on this is 16-1/4 inches long, 5-1/4 inches high, and about 4 inches wide. Basically, you could put everything in here to store or put the ball mount in there, put the pin and clip, and we'll be able to put both hitch balls in there. You'll be able to close it and you're ready to go. That should do it for the review on part number EBMK2416, the etrailer.com ball mount kit for the Class IV 2-inch hitch receivers. .
