For a 2 inch hitch ball that will work perfectly with the Curt Ball Mount # C45070 you mentioned I recommend the Tow Ready # 63845. When installing the ball it should be torqued down to 250 foot pounds.

You can have a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball on either a 1 inch or 1-1/4 inch shank. The nut on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank takes a wrench with a 1-7/8 inch socket. A hitch ball with a 1 inch shank will take a wrench with a 1-1/2 inch socket. You…
