What is closest aluminum alternative to Curt Ball Mount for 2inch Hitches - 3/4inch Rise, 2inch - 10-1/4inch Long - 7,500 lbs Item # D-4

Expert Reply:

For an aluminum ball mount you will want the Brophy Ball Mount item # EA20. It has a comparable 1" rise, 2" drop, a longer 14" extension, and a 8,000 lbs capacity. This ball mount also fits a 2" hitch receiver.

Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # A-90 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40030.

I also recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitch item # e98882 to secure your ball mount from theft.

I have linked a review video for the ball mount below.
