Answer 10

A chrome finish ball #C40036 is going to look good but it will not be corrosion resistant. A ball with a machine finish like #C40087 , is going to have about the same corrosion resistance. In terms of performance they will wear at about the same rate…

The 1-1/4 inch ball mount with the largest rise we offer is part #BR39FR from CR Brophy which offers a 5-1/2 inch rise. The rise of the ball mount doesn't need to be exactly equal to the height difference between the receiver and the trailer…
