Question:

Hi, I need a long shank ball mount for a 2 ball, with a 2 , like this one: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch-Ball-Mount/CURT/D-26.html However, I dont have the tools/ability to properly torque a ball to that. I see you sell ball mounts that come with a pre-torqued ball, but nothing that fits my need. If I buy the ball and the mount and am willing to pay for the additional service is that something you do? If not, how do I go about getting this done properly? Im kind of at a loss here.

Hello Dave,

I really wish we could torque the ball down for you, but we do not offer that kind of service.

We have a dealer locator of Dealers we have all over the US, I attached a link so you can see who is in your area. Give them a call and tell them that etrailer told you to call to see if they can torque a hitch ball down for you, they might charge you to do it, but I would imagine it wouldn't be much.

The Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop - 12-5/8" Long # D-26 is a solid choice for a ball mount, for a 2" ball you will want # C40020.

Please let me know which one of our dealers came through for you. What are you looking to tow?

Hi, that A-90 says it is 1 1/4" diameter and the D-26 shank I want takes a 1" diameter ball. That doesn't sound like they're compatible? Or am I missing something?

@Dave You are completely right, my apologies. We have changed a lot of our product pages to a new format and I am still adjusting. You will want the BulletProof Hitches 1-7/8" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2" Long Shank - Chrome - 8K # BPH93RR,

@Dave Well Dave, I am definitely human, unfortunately my mistakes have proven this. My sincere apologies. For a 2" ball that has a 1" diameter you will want the 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 3" Long Shank - Chrome - 6,000 lbs # C40020. Please do not tell me that your trailer is over 6k =)
