Hi Daniel!

I can definitely help you with that! I have the weights for each part listed below:

Reese Tri-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch - 3 Steel Balls - 18,000 lbs # RP74ZR - 29.5 pounds

Curt Forged Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitches - 1/2" Rise - 2" Drop - 20,000 lbs # C45456 - 17 pounds

Are you worried about the impact one of these will have on your tongue weight? Or is it more about removing/installing and storing it? They are both pretty beefy.

So the reese is solid, rather than hollow? I'm looking for the weight cause I want something heavy.

@Daniel Gotcha. The Reese # RP74ZR is indeed solid. When I saw how much it weighed I did a double take as I thought it was hollow. The more you know!

@LazerS Thanks. For the Reese RP74ZR can you tell me how far from the center of the pin to the center of the ball? Also, is the lead date on this really two months? I need something sooner than that. Last question, can you give me the weight of each of these Gen Y mounts 325-GH-054 325-GH-064

@Daniel We do not have any of the Reese # RP74ZR ball mounts in stock, so I am requesting that measurement from Reese and will let you know when I hear back from them (which can take a while sometimes). The lead time is most likely correct, unfortunately. It may be quicker, but I can't say that for sure. As to the Gen-Y ball mounts you asked about, I have those listed below: Gen-Y 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch Receivers - 2-5/16" and 2" Balls # 325-GH-054 - 16.8 pounds Gen-Y 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers - 2-5/16" and 2" Balls # 325-GH-064 - 24.9 pounds These also list the measurement you are looking for, with the # 325-GH-054 measuring 8-3/8" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. The # 325-GH-064 is 9-1/2" when measured the same way.
