Expert Reply:
Hey Jonathan. Yes, the 2" Hitch Ball with 1" Rise # CB28Z is compatible with the Curt Heavy-Duty Forged Ball Mount # C45342. The # CB28Z has a 1-1/4" diameter shank, which matches the 1-1/4" diameter ball hole on the Curt ball mount, so the two will work together properly.
Are you using the 1" rise on the hitch ball to achieve a specific ball height for your trailer?
