Hi - want to get everything needed for 2013 Chevy 2500HD. Starting with RP45323 - need to know the recommended 2inch ball and recommended pin. Are any other items needed? I did find a kitinch but had a 2 5/16inch and no pin extra long for 2.5x2.5inch receiver? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
If you have a 2-1/2 inch receiver on your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD the 2 inch ball I recommend is the CURT Hitch Ball, part # A-90. This hitch ball has a shank diameter of 1-1/4 inches and the length of the shank is 2-5/8 inches. The Reese Ball Mount, part # RP45323, you referenced has a ball mount that is 1 inch thick so this hitch ball will work fine with the ball mount.
The pin I recommend for a 2-1/2 inch receiver is part # C21500. This is a 5/8 inch diameter pin and has 3-3/16 inch usable pin length.
