what is diameter of the hole? will it fit over a 2 5/16 hitch ball?

Actually never heard of nor saw anyone using a snatch block this way. Is it safe to do so? Seems to be a good way to tear up the truck or any standing nearby should a cable break...

It seems a good question to ask in light of measurements taken. This snatch block's holes measure 2.1135" i.d. If the actual diameter, a 2-5/16" ball would be .199" too large for this snatch. 3/16" equals .1875". Half of .199" is .0995. Whatever is ground from the i.d. of the holes will of course weaken it, will undoubtedly void the warranty, and other bad things. That's the bad news. Maybe your hitch ball will measure 2.112" or so. Good luck.

Hitch balls should never be used as a winch anchor point. Too dangerous, don't even think about it again. When it fails you now have a 1 pound ball hurling with tremendous force in who know which direction.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! NEVER use a tow hitch ball as a recovery anchor! The ball does not have a high enough shear strength for recovery use. When it shears off you will have a 2 lb projectile in addition to the cable and shackle flying everywhere. IT WILL KILL YOU. Get a Clevis shackle (D Ring) and a proper tow hook for your vehicle. They are tested to have a breaking strength 2 to 4 times above the rated working load limit.

Fits my 2 inch receiver tightly so it will go in your receiver but will be loose. Probably more dependent on pin for support than sides of receiver. Hitch has two holes for pin.Hope this helps.

I have a 3/4 threaded shank with a 2 inch ball. The hole towards the end is 5/8 diameter for pull behind attachments that would use on riding lawnmowers. And then hitch pin is 1/2 inch diameter. Hope this helps.

The hole is for a 1-1/4" shank on the trailer ball, I am not sure if 2" balls are available in that shank size. You would not normally need the strength of a forged ball hitch when a 2" ball is used. The weight of the loaded trailer determines the strength of the ball and of the hitch required.

Sounds like the hitch is smaller than 2". Our Allen Sports bike rack with 2" tube fits in our Curt hitch's 2" receiver perfectly.

It's about 1/2" . Large enough to fit any standard pin. The hole for the ball is 1" and is large enough to fit a ball of any size.

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.

If your hitch opening is 2.5" ... I would not recommend the use of this receiver. If there is some sort of a sleeve to adapt your opening from 2.5" down to 2" then perhaps it would work. With that adapted, I would certainly think you could purchase a long enough hitch-pin to secure it.

The smaller one on the side that slides into your receiver and then the larger on the other end pretty sure 5/8. Standard size on on all my other 2 inch hitches

I use it for 1 1/4", but my hitch comes with a 2" converter and the bolt fits perfectly in it, so I'd say it does fit. The lock is convenient and works well.

The receiver on my 2008 Toyota Tundra is 2.5". This hitch lock works for my personalized hitch cover to avoid theft. It has a close fit with very little play. However, to tow I use my heavy duty hitch lock.

you need 5/8". We tried our master lock locking pin and it didn't work because of the threaded hole in the hitch

Just received one today and measured the diameter. It will fit in a 9/16" hole.

I just went to Auto Zone and purchased one labeled for a 2" hitch. I think it is standard and any 2" hitch pin will work. It was like 5-10 bucks.

Yes it should. And I used to slip the ring over my ball hitch. I used it on my 5 acres to keep the weeds at bay and loosening the ground. I used 4 of these when I was on 30 acres. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you are trying to make work, this product will only help if your 2" hitch adapter is loose in the receiver. Do you have a 2" to 1 1/4" adapter?
