Today we'll be taking a look at the Brophy Ball Mount for a 2-1/2" Hitch. Now, this is going to serve as the connection point between our vehicle and our trailer. We'll have our ball mounted here. It's going to attach to our hitch via a hitch pin. Now, both of those items the ball, and the hitch pin are sold separately. You can find a lot of options at etrailer.com.
You just want to be sure to check the weight rating on both of those items. Make sure that they're up to the task of whatever you're hauling since you're really only as strong as your weakest link.Our ball mount has a nice sturdy steel construction with this black powder coat finish. Have a hollow shank there, and you can use this in the rise or the drop position. You'll just have to have your ball mounted to the side that you want it to be. So, if you want it in the drop position you'll have your ball mounted here, the rise mounted up there.
Now, this is going to work again for your 2-1/2" by 2-1/2" hitches so that's going to be typically your class four and five and up. The gross towing weight is 10,000 pounds with this, and our tongue weight is 1,000 pounds. The distance between the center of the ball hole and the center of the hitch pin hole is just over 13", 13-1/4. Our drop from the inside of the hitch opening to our platform is 2", and the rise from that same point, the inside of our hitch opening, is 3/4".The diameter of that ball hole is 1-1/4". The platform is 3/4" thick, and the pinhole accepts a 5/8" diameter pin.
That's going to do it for our look at the Brophy Ball Mount for a 2-1/2" Hitch.

This hitch is the perfect length and load capacity to do some local hauling of our camper. I was tired of lugging around the 100#+ weight distribution hitch and the Brophy was the only one I could find that met all the requirements of length, hitch size, tongue weight, and total load with the correct ball height for my Silverado 2500HD. I still use my WD hitch for highway hauling, but 99% of the time, the Brophy is doing the work.

Excellent product, just what I was looking for. Customer service was fantastic. Took care of my issues quickly.
Was what I ordered on delivery was what I was told it would be.
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.
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
