This 2-5/16" chrome trailer hitch ball is rated for 7,500 lb and uses a 1" diameter shank with a 2-1/8" shank length. It is a practical replacement or setup component for compatible ball mounts used with 2-5/16" trailer couplers.
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.
Compatibility: Fits compatible towing setups requiring a 2-5/16" hitch ball with a 1" diameter shank and 2-1/8" shank length.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used with receiver-style ball mounts, trailer hitches, and couplers rated for the load being towed.
Installation Notes: Install with the included lock washer and nut. Verify proper seating, thread engagement, and torque before towing.
Performance Insight: Matching the ball diameter to the coupler and the shank diameter to the ball mount is essential for safe, secure trailer connection.
