Question:

On the weight safe hitch can the ball be replaced/swapped with a 2-5/16 or 2” instead of using the clam shell? Thanks

Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, no, Weigh safe does not make another ball size for the Aero Hitch. You will need to use the clamshell.

Hey Brian, how did things go after swapping the hitch ball on your Weigh Safe Aero Hitch? Knowing which size worked best could help others trying to avoid using the clam shell. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.

No, this will not fit a weigh safe aero hitch. The shank diameter is too large. I just called weigh safe and they don't even make a 2 5/16" replacement ball for the aero hitch. They only offer the clam shell adapter.
