Video Transcript for Curt Hitch Ball - Trailer Hitch Ball - C40036 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at part number C40036. This is the Curt 2 and 5/16 inch hitch ball. Now, this hitch ball is a little bit different than normal hitch balls, it's going to have a high rise design. That's going to let you easily match the ball to your trailer height. The trailer hitch ball is going to sit 2 extra inches above the ball mount platform on your particular ball mount. Again, it's a nice design, it's a unique design, that really allows you to get the ball where you need it to haul your trailer the way that you want to, or the way that you should. The unit is going to feature a fine threaded system that's going to provide exceptionally tight, strong grip.
Steel construction with a nickel-chrome finish, that's going to do a good job at resisting rust and corrosion and lasting a long time. You are going to get the lock washer and the nut. Those items are included. The ball diameter on the unit, printed right here on top, that's going to be 2 and 5/16 of an inch. That's going to be rated at 10,000 pounds, so that's going to be the capacity. If we take a measurement of the shank length, that's measuring this portion right here, that's going to give us a length of 2 and 5/8 of an inch.
The shank is going to give us a diameter of an inch and 1/4. That's helpful to know depending on the ball mount that you want to install this on. The rise area, so this portion right here, that's going to give us that 2 inch measurement. Then from the bottom of the platform right here to the top of the hitch ball, that's going to give us a measurement that looks to be about 4 and 5/8 of an inch, which is going to give this unit an overall length measurement; looks to be about 7 and 1/4 of an inch. Really simple installation. You need to make sure that the ball mount that you're installing this on has the inch and 1/4 hole.
Slide the shank through the hole on your ball mount platform. On the underside of the platform is going to go the lock washer and the nut and then you'll need to follow the instructions and make sure that you get this torqued down to the specifications listed by the manufacturer. That's going to ensure that everything is tight and that the ball is going to stay onto the ball mount platform and that it's ready for towing. That's going to do it for today's look at part number C40036.

Dimensions are correct, photo is not. Photo is not a chromed ball; description is correct, it is chrome. After a couple of trips with a 6K# trailer, chrome is still in good condition, no peeling away (I did grease before attaching.). Nut fits a 1-13/16 wrench.

Got this riser ball as expected. A friend gave me this trailer but my hitch was about two inches to low. This 2" riser ball fixed the problem perfectly. I had a question so called for details on riser height. The lady I spoke with was very helpful told me about economy shipping rates that take a bit longer since I was in no hurry to get this. Overall I really like this company, their descriptions are detailed, they have little videos you can watch that help with making the right choice. They are very helpful on the phone if you need to call and they seem to have good prices as well. I will definitely order from them again. In fact, I plan to call tomorrow to get help deciding on mirrors for my truck.

Disappointed in the hardness of the metal. The ball has a lot of scarring, cuts, etc on it. Other than that it does what it is supposed to do

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball
- 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball with Long Shank and 2 Inch RiseThe closest ball we have to your specifications is # C40036. It is a 2-5/16 inch ball with a 2 inch rise but the shank is 2-5/8 inches long. The overall height would be almost exactly 7 inches.
view full answer... - Can Curt Ball Mount Part # C45338 be Used with Tow DollyYes, if you had a tow dolly that attaches to a hitch ball the Curt ball mount part # C45338 that you referenced would work well with it. For hitch balls you'd want the part # A-90 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40036 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
view full answer... - High-Rise Hitch BallWe have just what you need. For a 1-1/4-inch shank diameter we do offer two high-rise 2-5/16-inch hitch balls which can be seen on the link at right. These offer a choice of 1- or 2-inches of rise. Both # C40036 and # C40035 carry a 10K capacity. For 2-inch balls you can use either # C40034 or # C40033 along with bushing # 58184.
view full answer... - Calculating Ball Mount Height for 2015 EX Loader TandemHaving a 17-19 inch level trailer coupler height is pretty typical. Without having the boat and trailer at my disposal, I'm at a disadvantage, but I can link you to an FAQ article that shows how to determine the rise or drop you need. Measure from the inside top of the receiver opening to the ground. The height difference between the inside top of the receiver and the underside of the coupler when the trailer is level is the rise or drop you'll need. If the truck receiver height is higher...
view full answer... - Difference Between Chrome Plated Steel Hitch Ball and Raw Steel in Terms of Corrosion ResistanceA chrome finish ball # C40036 is going to look good but it will not be corrosion resistant. A ball with a machine finish like # C40087 , is going to have about the same corrosion resistance. In terms of performance they will wear at about the same rate under normal use. The best balls in terms of corrosion are going to be stainless steel
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Ball To Mount to Forklift for Moving TrailersI do have an option for you but 2" hitch balls max out around 10,000 to 12,000 lbs. That said, if you are using the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System like part # AM3200 then you actually need a 2-5/16" hitch ball. This 2-5/16" hitch ball could then be obtained with the 17,000 lb weight capacity you were looking for. In regards to a 2" rise, that is going to be even more of a stretch especially in the capacity you need. The only option we have with a 2" rise is...
view full answer... - Does Capacity of Ball Mount Change if Used in Rise PositionThe towing and tongue weight capacity of the Curt Ball Mount # C45338 does not change if you use it in the rise position; it has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 lbs and towing capacity of 10,000 lbs no matter if you use it to get 8-1/4 inches of drop or 7 inches of rise. Keep in mind your capacity is limited to that of your truck and hitch receiver. For example, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C14006 for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 also has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 lbs and towing...
view full answer... - Available 2-5/16-Inch High-Rise Hitch BallsWe carry many types and sizes of hitch ball that are displayed on the page I linked for you. Near the top of the page are our high-rise balls. We do have 2-5/16-inch high-rise balls such as # C40036 (2-inch rise) and # C40035 (1-inch rise) but both of these have a shank diameter of 1-1/4-inches and shank length of 2-5/8-inches. I linked a second page that shows the three 2-5/16-inch high-rise balls that have a 1-1/2-inch shank diameter; all have a shank length of 2-3/4-inches. The nearest...
view full answer... - Is a 2 inch Rise Ball Mount Needed to Use a Blue Ox Sway Pro on a 6 inch Tall Trailer FrameI spoke to Blue Ox and they informed me that the dimensions of your trailer frame do not designate whether or not you would need to use a 2 inch rise hitch ball like the part # C40036 that you referenced unless you have the older style of Sway Pro. The new version of the system does not require this. Basically you would just need to set the system up like you would normally so that the trailer sits level. To do that the top of the hitch ball when installed in the head of the Sway Pro will...
view full answer... - Using High Rise Trailer Ball to Achieve No Rise or Drop on BallmountWhen determining the required rise or drop of ball mount needed, there will be many instances where the available ball mounts will not match up exactly with the rise or drop needed. As long as the ball mount used places the trailer within 1-1/2 inches of level, you will be absolutely fine. Having the trailer above level is preferable to under level, as most vehicles will squat or settle a bit once the trailer is hitched to the vehicle. If the Curt # C40036 high rise 2-5/16 trailer ball...
view full answer... - Available High-Rise Hitch BallsWhen a small amount of height rise is needed to keep your hitched trailer level you can either use a ball mount with that amount of rise or in some cases use a high-rise hitch ball like those shown on the linked page. These hitch balls are available in all three ball sizes (1-7/8-inch, 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch) to match your trailer coupler and with two different shank diameters, 1-inch like # C40034 and 1-1/4-inch like # C40036, to match your ball mount. All are shown on the linked page. If...
view full answer... - Availability Of 2-5/6 Hitch Balls With RiseI have another option for you, but you are correct that all of the 2-5/6" hitch balls with a rise use a shank that is larger than 1". Instead I recommend using the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1" Rise - 1-1/4" Diameter x 2-5/8" Long Shank - 10,000 lbs # C40035 or 2" Rise # C40036. Both of these options use a 1-1/4" shank so you would need to replace your current ball mount. I included a link to all of our ball mounts that use a 1-1/4" shank, and a link to a helpful article that goes over how...
view full answer... - What is Smallest Diameter Hitch Ball Shank Hi Rise Hitch BallThe smallest diameter shank we offer in the high rise hitch balls is 1 inch like with the part # C40034 which is a 2 inch ball with a 2 inch rise built into it. This has a 6,000 lb capacity. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ball mounts we carry with a 1 inch diameter ball hole.
view full answer... - Height of the Curt Hitch Ball # C40036 Above Ball Mount PlatformThe height of the Curt High Rise ball # C40036 that you referenced measured from where it would sit on a ball mount platform to the top of the ball measures 4-11/16 inches.

- Hitch Ball Recommendation that Has 2 inch Rise Built Into Shank and Has Over 7,500 lb CapacityWe have the hitch ball part # C40036 which has a 2 inch rise built into it and has a 10,000 lb capacity. This is a 2-5/16 inch diameter ball and has a shank diameter of 1-1/4 inch. This is our only option that matches the capacity and rise spec you need.
view full answer... - Availability Of 12" Long Ball Mount With 1-1/4" Hitch Ball Hole And 3" RiseI have an option that may work for you, but we do not have a ball mount with 4" rise, a 1-1/4" shank hole, and is 13" - 14-1/2" long. The closest option we have is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 12" Long - 12,000 lbs # 4285 which is 12" long and has a 3" rise. For this option you would use 2-5/16" hitch ball # BWHB94003 which has a 3-1/4" long shank and has a 1" rise to get you back up to 4" total rise. If your new trailer is under 6000lbs I recommend is...

- Can Raised Hitch Ball be Used With Curt MV Weight Distribution System Yes, if you'd like you can use a raised hitch ball with the Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control - Round Bar - 14K GTW, 1.4K TW # C17063. For that you can use either 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 2" Rise # C40036 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1" Rise # C40035.
view full answer... - Solution for Towing Trailer that Has Nose that Sits too Close to GroundSounds like you just need to pick out the correct ball mount to allow your trailer to be towed level. If you check out the link I attached you will see how this process is done. Using suspension enhancement to level a trailer is not it's intended use. That's for reducing sag on the suspension from heavy trailers or cargo.

After a year and several long trips with a heavy trailer, chrome is not peeling and remains in good condition. Note that I use axle grease liberally on trailer balls! Also, I have had no issue with the lock washer and nut provided staying tight.
