R&P Service Insight
Correct hitch ball selection depends on more than coupler size. The shank diameter, shank length, ball mount platform thickness, and towing rating all need to match the application.
- Coupler Match: Use only with a 2-5/16" coupler.
- Ball Mount Match: Confirm the ball mount accepts a 1" shank.
- Capacity Check: The usable towing capacity is limited by the lowest-rated towing component.

Installation Notes: Install with the included lock washer and nut. Verify proper seating, thread engagement, and torque before towing.
