To install a hitch ball on the included ball mount, what shank length and diameter should I shop for?

i takes the smaller shaft balls and the length is standard the base is only about 5/8 on the ball mount so any 1 7/8 ball should work

The shank inserts into a 2" receiver found on any full size truck with tow package. FYI ...You will need a ball for the trailer you are pulling. Not included.

Just measured mine and it came with a 2" ball and the shank length is 2 1/4" and 1" diameter approximately. Jim

Just make sure you get the actual "Curt" locking pin set that is made for that ball mount. Not a generic locking pin like that other guy is saying

I think it requires a long 3/4" diameter shank. The shank is the threaded bolt beneath the ball. Balls have either a 3/4" diam or 1" diam shank. Yours is probably 1" diam. Get a 2.5" or 3" long shank that is 3/4" diameter and it will fit.

6 wide, 4 high, 4 out to ball hole, hitch hole is 3/4, there are three mounting holes for up and down adjustment, mounting holes are 3 inches apart

Both of the hitch pins are industry standard sized pins, so all the holes on all receiver hitches should fall under the sizes of these two pins. By chance if your receiver hole has been drilled out or modified then this would be the only time I would worry about. You can google the two sized holes if you are concerned about the size and see if your bolt diameter is the size of one of the pins.

It is made to fit both 1.25" and 2" hitch receivers. I believe your hitch is a 1.25", so you should be good.

Standard hitch opening,instead putting a ball on it u attach the loader to it and bolts on like a ball does

I think trailer hitch holders come in a few different sizes. Maybe you need an adapter?

It's a 6mm allen wrench. You'll also need a 3/4" standard wrench to bolt it to the hitch.

My hitch came with the two inch ball on it and believe they pretty much all do. Should say in description. If not the shank of the ball is threaded with a big nut and lock washer on the bottom. Remove it then install desired size. These are very tight so need leverage or air.

This rack fits a 2 inch square receiver. If you vehicle is equipped with this type receiver it will fit. It will not fit a 2" ball only hitch.

If you mean the hitch pin, you need a 5/8". The cotter pin (that goes with the hitch pin) will come with the hitch pin.

You should be able to get a hitch pin at just about any automotive store. I think a 3.5in by 5/8 will work. I'm not sure it will be stable enough using just a pin, but I could be wrong. I didn't like either way so I bought a hitch mounted vise plate that is made for the 2 in. receiver and it comes with the correct pin. You'll need to drill some holes.

Should be 1-1/2" Dia Ball, the overall may be close to 7"but not sure on the exact. You could probably get all the spec's from the RAM Mount Website?

I used a hitch vise plate from harbor freight because I have a 2 inch receiver and the adapter was loose IMHO. But I measured from the old 1 1/4 hitch that Highland uses and from the hole where the pin goes in crosswise to hold the hitch in the receiver to the plate is 14 inches. So if you measure from the receiver hole to the back of the spare tire you need at least 14 inches or an adapter. You can always get a hitch extender to add length.
