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.
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.
R&P Knowledge Hub
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.

R&P Repair Insight
Hitch balls should be replaced when the ball surface, threads, nut, or washer show damage, severe wear, deformation, or corrosion that could affect safe towing.
