Question:
Hello, I have a 20k pintle/2-5/16inch hitch and the ball snapped off will this ball fit so I can lock the pintal back down? All other 2-5/16inch hitch balls with a 1-1/4inch shank that i find local are too tall and wont allow the lock to close.

Hello Darryl, thanks for reaching out. I do have a solution for you, but the # 337RB102000 hitch ball you mentioned is not going to be short enough to work for your pintle hook. These kind of pintle attachments use a special short ball like part # C48830. This is a 2-5/16" ball with a 1-1/4" shank that is made specifically for a pintle hook attachment so this will work well for you. Just keep in mind this ball will limit your capacity to 16K.

Hey Darryl, how did the shorter hitch ball for your pintle hook work out? Knowing if it fit and allowed the lock to close could really help others trying to match the right ball height. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
