What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this Brophy Ball Mount. So this is gonna go in a two and a half inch hitch, and it's gonna bring the ball out just a little bit more to give you more room when you're towing for those tight turns. Let's check it out. Now the extra length on the ball mount is gonna help you out. Get more space between the trailer and your truck, which is gonna help out when you turns.
You're less likely to jackknife if you have one of those trailers that has a shorter tongue. This is just gonna get further away and help you out going down the road. Measuring from the top of our hitch here on the inside to where the ball sits, it's gonna have a two inch drop. Now you can put it in the rise position too, that'd be just flipping this upside down, then the ball will sit right here level with the top of the hitch. I do wanna point out that the ball does not come with the ball mount, so I can loosen up and I can show you.
You want to also get one that has the right diameter. There's gonna be an inch and a quarter for this inch and a quarter diameter opening on the mount and make sure you get the right one that fits your coupler and the ball mount. I tighten the ball down hand-tight, but you're gonna need to torque this when you actually go to put this on there. So this is not tight enough for it. This is just demonstration purposes, so make sure you torque it down to the specified instructions.
This is gonna have a trailer weight rating of 10,000 pounds. It's gonna have a tongue weight rating of 1,000 pounds, so just keep that in mind with what kind of truck and trailer combination you're using. Now, it's also got a black powder coat finish on this sturdy steel construction so you don't have to worry about rust or corrosion if you leave this in the hitch and the elements. It also doesn't come with its own hitch pin, so I suggest getting one on the site. Might as well get a locking hitch pin as a recommendation just to lock up the ball mount so that nobody can mess with it when you're not around.
Overall, it's gonna be a good ball mount, especially if your truck and your trailer is already level. You only have one trailer with one coupler, so this is gonna work fine. That extra space from the hitch and the coupler is gonna help you out too. If you're having problems with tight turns, your trailer coming a little too close, this will get more space in between there. Now for some suggestions, if maybe you have two different trailers or a few different, they have different size couplers and you don't wanna switch this out all the time or they're at different heights, you can get an adjustable ball mount. There's plenty of options out there to look at to wear on the fly. You can just move it up or down, switch it out. Even some of 'em have a dual ball design where you can flip it and then be on your way once it's hooked up to the trailer. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out. Hope this helped.

Excellent product, just what I was looking for. Customer service was fantastic. Took care of my issues quickly.
Exactly as described. Just what I need to tow my 10,000lb race trailer and gain the swing clearance required for my power lift gate. Quick shipping to Canada
Nice quality.
This unit should have additional holes so it can be used closer to the truck
Everything was just as described. incredibly fast delivery!!!
Great value, fast delivery. Thanks
Shipped fast, looks great. I have not used it yet. The only issue was just with packaging, the hitch fell out of the box as UPS handed it to my wife. Luckily it did not hit her foot.
fast, efficient & informative
Exactly as described. This extended length
ball mount will allow tighter turns without jack knifing. I am very pleased.
Perfect and was hard to find since the newer trucks are just starting to use this 2.5" size as does my 2018 F250.
Thanks

All fine..works as it should.
Heavy solid build.I needed one several inches longer than average ,and this was perfect.
Product arrived on time and was exactly as described
The hitch and the trailer ball with the hitch was perfect for making my trailer level behind my vehicle
Shipping was a mess, lost the first one in the mail somewhere because no one thought a 50# hitch would punch through cardboard. It is working as expected, but does not seem to be a true 2" drop.
