Hey Tyler! Yes, the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e55YV is compatible with our etrailer fixed ball mounts for 2-1/2" receivers. We have the following options based on the drop and ball size you need:

-etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball 2" Drop # e68TV

-etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2-5/16" Ball 2" Drop # e38TV

-etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball 4" Drop # e48TV

-etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2-5/16" Ball 4" Drop # e58TV

-etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball 6" Drop # e98TV

-etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2-5/16" Ball 6" Drop # e26TV

The # e55YV will tighten the connection between the ball mount and receiver to eliminate the typical movement and rattling. Keep in mind, the # e55YV is rated for up to 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight, so if you're using one of the 20k ball mounts you won't be able to engage the anti-rattle collar. You don't have to remove it, just don't tighten it down on the shank.

If you also want to lock the ball mount to your truck, you can use the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock # 34061072-D. I went ahead and attached a help article further down on this page which explains how to measure and choose the right drop for your application.

What truck and trailer are you setting up?

Thanks Robin. I measured everything and it looks like I need the 4" drop with the 2-5/16" ball. I’ll add the anti-rattle collar too, the trailer doesn't go over that 10k capacity.

@Tyler you're welcome! The # e58TV and # e55YV will be a great combination for your setup. The collar should keep everything nice and tight so you aren't listening to the ball mount rattle around while you're towing.
