Review: Great quality! - Excellent quality!! Review: Yeah... this will work if you need a 2 5/16" ball! - I had a super hitch.... load leveler bars, for my travel trailer. Someone STOLE it from my front yard! So... I had simple hitch with lowering ball (my stupid F-150 truck is TOO HIGH!) and bought this ball. Well... it DOES connect to my expensive travel trailer.

Diameter Chrome Trailer Ball - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MsW+0n1KL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the height on the ball end?** A: The ball is a regular 2 inch ball. Height depends on the receiver hitch **Q: ball marks on top says 2 am i missing something** A: It’s a 2 5/16” ball not a 2” **Q: Is this a metric thread?** A: It is not a metric thread. **Q: Whats the socket size for nut?** A: The nut on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank takes a wrench with a 1-7/8 inch socket. A hitch ball with a 1 inch shank will take a wrench with a 1-1/2 inch socket. So the best tool for this ball is a 1 1/2” box end wrench. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality! *by F***Z on January 25, 2026* Excellent quality!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yeah... this will work if you need a 2 5/16" ball! *by D***E on April 22, 2024* I had a super hitch.... load leveler bars, for my travel trailer. Someone STOLE it from my front yard! So... I had simple hitch with lowering ball (my stupid F-150 truck is TOO HIGH!) and bought this ball. Well... it DOES connect to my expensive travel trailer. I put it on a simple hitch thing with lowering ball height. Yeah... it works. Nothing wrong with this ball if this is what you need! It SUPER GREAT for what it does! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hitch ball value and performance *by H***N on January 31, 2022* I ordered this hitch ball as I will be renting a trailer that has 2 5/16" coupler. I normally pull with a 2" connection and use a Curt 2" dia., 1" shaft, 12,000 lb. ball normally. I ordered this from Amazon Warehouse and was concerned about reviewers that said the threads were messed up or labelled incorrectly. I am happy to report that product I recieved (P-1B1) is showroom perfect and was shipped in a box as opposed to a mailer envelope. For this size and rated ball I couldn't be more happy and with this price it is a fantastic deal as compared to any other items I looked at online.
