Hey Frank, 2" hitch balls like what you see on the Draw-Tite Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball for 2" Hitches # DT49MR should be torqued to 250 ft. lbs. This shank come pre-torqued though, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

If there is something else I can help you with, please feel free to leave a comment and let me know!

Thank you sir. I ordered this DT49MR. It came with a ball mount, and a ball with nut, not mounted.

@BryceD The ball and ball mount were shipped as separate items. The ball was not mounted. Either the product description is wrong, or the order people failed to attach and torque the ball before shipping. Frank

@Frank Hey Frank, the product description is correct that's my bad stating it'd come pre-torqued. Most of our ball mounts that include a ball already come with the ball pre-torqued so without double checking that's what I assumed.

Hey Frank, the cross section depth of a frame is the width of the frame's channel. So the etrailer Bolt-On Swivel Mounting Plate for 3,500-lb Trailer Jacks #e52JR can fit on frame channels that are less than 3 inches in width which is due to the…

Hey Frank, the radius for the handle of the etrailer jack part #e22ZV is 8-1/8 inches. That means it sticks out 8-1/8 inches from where it attaches to the jack. From the center of the jack mount to the top of the jack measures 7.5 inches.
