Question:

Are these two compatible: Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combo with 3 Stainless Steel Balls - Bolt On - 25,000 lbs - PH1 Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2inch Hitches - 6-1/4inch Shank - 8 Hole - 20,000 lbs - C48339 My truck is a 2011 F-350 Crew cab, which I believe is a 2 1/2inch rcvr.

Expert Reply:

The Convert-A-Ball Pintle Hook Combo with 3 Stainless Steel Balls # PH1 is not a fit for the Curt mounting plate # C48239. The holes will not align as the center will be off by 1/16 inch with the 3-5/16 inch width center on center.

Instead I recommend the B&W Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2" Hitches - 16,000 lbs # BWPMHD14202, the Buyers Products 3 Position Pintle Hook Mount for 2-1/2" Receiver - 20K # 337PM25812, or the Reese Titan Forged Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches - 18,000 lbs # RP45294 which all are compatible, but will reduce your towing capacity.
