Their specifications, rating, etc. are identical otherwise. **Q: What is the rise? I need for pintle hitch and most are too tall** A: No it will not work for a pintle. I was trying to find a 2-5/16 ball for my pintle as well. Curt offer replacement pintle balls. It is shorter than a regular ball **Q: I wonder what the safety factor is on tis 20,000lb ball. Is rated for 20,000 lbs but a safety factor 2x? so 40,000lbs would break it? Just curious** A: Typical engineering is at least 2x, but what has to be considered is hard braking, or rough pavement, or hard bumps etc. Trailer hitch itself is the normal weak/break point. Never broken one of these balls or a ball mount, but have torn a hitch loose once, and have severely bent a hitch on a giant pothole. **Q: What nut size socket fits this 2- 5/16", 1-1/4' x 2-3/4 shank?** A: 1 7/8" Socket, also helps to have a large torque wrench to torque it properly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good! *by D***. on 19 June 2026* I was close to renting an excavator for driveway work and realized I needed a ball for the rental trailer!
