Question:
How do I know what size shank fits in the ball mount in this kit?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11169 is a Class I hitch so it will use a Class I, 1-1/4 inch ball mount.
The size of the hitch ball you need will depend on the exact ball mount you choose. For example, if you use the Curt Ball Mount # C45019 it has a 3/4 inch ball hole diameter so you can use # C40001 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # C40018 for a 2 inch ball. Both have a 3/4 inch shank.
When choosing a ball mount you'll want to make sure you get one with the rise or drop you need based on your hitch receiver and trailer. I've linked an article to help you with this.
If you need a pin and clip use # F-4.
To tow a trailer you'll also need a wiring harness. If you can tell me the exact year, make, and model of your tow vehicle I can recommend trailer wiring for you.
