Question:
need to find a ball mount class 5 that will fit a factory installed tow package for my new king ranch 450.

Expert Reply:
There are three ball mounts we offer that will work for the 2-1/2 inch hitch on your Ford F450 with a 2-1/2 inch opening. The problem that many encounter is that the Ford 2-1/2 inch hitches are very tight with round corners and many ball mounts like the Reese Titan Ball Mount # RP45323 that you referenced will not fit without modification.
The ball mounts we have found to work on the Ford 2-1/2 hitches are the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-2, the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-4, and the Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-6.
I attached an FAQ article on how to pick out the correct ball mount for you to check out.
