Video Transcript for Hands-On with the 2" Hitch Ball-SC23-C

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Brophy Chrome-Plated Two Inch Hitch Ball. Our two inch ball here, looks nice and sharp, and also we have a one inch shank hole, so the diameter of the shank will fit perfectly on this Brophy hitch mount. We also have a shank length of 2-1/8 inches. Now it is chrome, so it is gonna resist that elements of towing and the rust and corrosion that can build up. Now, if you want to put a little grease over here, that's just gonna add a little bit more protection, keeping this chrome nice and shiny. And this is gonna work great with any ball mount that has a one inch diameter shank opening.

Now, I really do like the way this looks with the aluminum Brophy. Having them kind of matching, just kind of gives it that little extra nice look to it. Installation is gonna be extremely easy. We can simply remove the nut. We have a lock washer there, and we'll just put that in place.

And you can actually, you have spots here to put your wrench on top, and then when you tighten this down, you're gonna want to use a 1/2 inch torque wrench and adjust that torque to the specifications in the manufacturer's recommendations. Now, the only thing left to do is hook up to your trailer, cross up your safety chains here, plug in your wiring, and you can drop it in place and hit the road. You should have no problem pulling a boat or even a large camper, assuming that your coupler is two inch ball rated. And that was a look at the Brophy two inch hitch ball..

Excellent/light-weight mount & ball. Fit is perfect on my new Jeep Cherokee with OEM receiver. Easily removed for storage in trunk; however, safe/secure to leave in place with self-locking mechanism.



by:

Beautiful rust free strong ball



by:

Great service, great product. Would purchase again if needed.



by:

so far no issues and looks good with my aluminum tow bar on the back of my all white truck.



by:

This ball looks to be very good quality, with very nice workmanship. The load rating is 7000 pounds, which is another 1000 pounds more than my previous 2" ball



by:

Looks great, heavy duty, and stainless steel so no rust!



by:

Very positive experience with both Service and the product. Two thumbs up!



by:

Stainless steel hitch balls are the best to use in the Gulf Coast area. Salt water, and the salty air are corrosive on these items. I have been using these stainless steel hitch balls for years now. These are good for under 7500 # trailers.

I like that Brophy's stainless steel hitch ball has a very smooth finish. I also like that the lock washer & nut are stainless steel. Now I don't have to contend with rust.

Go get yourself one !!!



by:

This is a very nice Ball but made in Ch ina.

What can I say - it's a stainless steel hitch ball! At least it will look better on my truck than the rusty mess my old chromed ball turned into.

Still looking good after many uses



by:

What I needed and seems like quality it em



by:

Upgraded to an F250 with a 3 inch hitch receiver. My old receiver was 2 inch. Ordered adapter, stainless ball and 3 inch locking pin. All delivered promptly and top quality!



by:

Very nice SS version of a 2 inch ball. I really like the polished finish vs. some of the other matte SS finishes. It matches a polished aluminum ball mount nicely. This is one of the only 7,500 lb rated 2 inch ball/1 inch shaft balls I could find. The only knock is that it is made in China, not the U.S., but you can't always get what you want. Etrailer was prompt with shipping. Please note the overall shaft length is 2 1/2 inches, which provides ample length even for 1 inch thick mounts typically found on aluminum mounts. This fact was not clear from the description, although it was buried in the Q and A. I will follow up once I've had a chance to put the product in service, which will be shortly.



by:

Looks good, fast shipping.



by:

The ball worked perfectly! I love it...! I needed one that had a smaller base so my trailer hitch would not get hung up on the old style large base. This ball fit perfectly! I love etrailer because they carry such a wide variety of parts...they’re my go too site for trailering stuff!!!!



by:

Perfect fit in my new hitch, not a bit of flex and appears solid. Very curious to see how many years I can get out of this stainless ball, since all the others I've ever had only last about 6-10 years before the mount rusts to hell and back.



by:

Great hitch, light, strong and still looks like new after a years use.



by:

What is there to say about a trailer ball and ball mount? Many miles on it and the trailer hasn't fallen off. Never had any problems with any Curt product.



by:

The products bought were exactly what I expected with regards to quality. But what I appreciated most was the short amount of time it took to receive the items - very quick turn around from placing the order to receiving all of the items. I had emailed etrailer a couple of times, once to get the tracking number and another just to acknowledge receiving it and both times customer service replied right away - so kudos to George J and the customer service team.



by:

Nice ball. Does pick up some rust from trailer's mild steel hitch, but that wipes mostly off.



by:

I ordered and received exactly what I expected. I was able to track the order to the exact day of delivery. I couldn't be happier. I would recommend "etrailer" to any of my friends if they were to need anything regarding trailers... thank you for an excellent experience...

See what our Experts say about this Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball

  • Is Aluminum Ball Mount Compatible With Stainless Steel Hitch Ball For 2 Inch Hitch
    Yes, you can absolutely use an aluminum ball mount with a stainless steel hitch ball without worry of the ball mount corroding. In fact, there are no aluminum hitch balls so manufacturers suggest the use of stainless steel as it is going to be the best option work in conjunction with an aluminum ball mount. So what you will need depends on the rise or drop your trailer requires: - 1" Rise, 2" Drop: Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C74WR - 3" Rise, 4" Drop: Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches...

  • Best Ball Mount for 5 Inch Rise in 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The best ball mount that will give you 5 inches of rise is the Brophy Ball Mount # EA60. This ball mount is made from solid aluminum, which means no welded-on parts that can create weak spots, and also means it isn't going to corrode like steel can. This mount has an 8,000 lb capacity which is more than enough for the large majority of towing needs. For a hitch ball you will need either the 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # SC30-C. Then to secure the # EA60 to your hitch,...

  • What Is Overall Shank Length Of Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball SC23-C
    I went to the warehouse and measured the Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball, part # SC23-C. The length of the shank from the underside of the platform that sits on the ball mount is 2-1/2 inches. The threaded portion of the shank measures 2-1/8 inch. I have attached a photo of the ball with th edimensions shown.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for Use with etrailer hitch e78KR for 2007 Honda Element
    The key when picking out a ball mount is to go with one that allows the trailer to be towed level. Without knowing the height of the coupler on your trailers I can't know what would work best, but I do have a solution that will work. The part # BWTS10038B is an adjustable ball mount that has two ball sizes. 2 inch hitch ball and a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball which would be what you'd most likely find on a smaller trailer. If you already have the Curt Ball mount, you will need to determine the...

  • Stainless 2 inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for a Brophy Ball Mount EA40
    For a 2 inch diameter stainless steel hitch ball to use with the Ball Mount part # EA40 that you referenced the Brophy ball part # SC23-C would work great. This ball has 2-1/8 inch long shank that is 1 inch in diameter so it would fit the # EA40 well.

  • Recommended 2 Inch Trailer Ball for Andersen Alumistinger Ball Mount
    The Curt 2 inch Trailer Ball, part # 40038 would be a good choice for you. The ball has a 1 inch diameter shank with a 12,000 lb capacity. It would work just fine with the Andersen Alumistinger Ball Mount you mentioned. Keep in mind that the towing capacity will be limited to the capacity of the lowest rated component, be it the ball, hitch, ball mount or the vehicle itself. The CR Brophy ball you mentioned would also work well, but it has a lower capacity at 7500 lbs.

  • Where is Brophy 2 Inch Stainless Steel Hitch Ball Made
    Brophy hitch ball # SC23-C is made overseas. For a stainless steel option that is made in the US you would have to go to an interchangeable set, # 903B. I have linked a video review of this set for you.

  • What Trailer Hitch Balls are Recommend for the Solid Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTBM4200
    A ball with a medium shank, 2-1/8 inches or longer, will work fine with the Solid Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTBM4200. You will just need to make sure that there are at least 2 threads past the nut when it is properly tightened to the ball mount. Here are some of the balls we recommend: For a 1-7/8 inch diameter, # 63851 For a 2 inch diameter, # SC23-C For a 2-5/16 inch diameter, # 63853

  • Size Wrench Used to Install Brophy Hitch Ball # SC23-C
    Brophy recommends using two large crescent wrenches to install the # SC23-C. Or at least one crescent wrench on top of the ball and a 1-7/8 inch wrench on the bottom.

  • Will Zinc Coated Nut Interact with Stainless Steel Brophy Hitch Ball
    Honestly I don't have a good answer for that but it seems that as long as you won't be in saltwater you'll be fine. Galvanized steel and stainless steel normally won't become problematic together but if there's salt water you will see some corrosion develop. We haven't had any people come back and say the nut and washer created problems with the shank and ball of the # SC23-C either.

  • Hitch & Ball Mount for 2002 Jeep Wrangler to Clear Spare Tire
    You can avoid clearance issues between your 2002 Jeep Wrangler's rear-mounted spare tire and your towing ball mount by using a ball mount long enough that will extend past the rear edge of the tire. The 2-inch hitch I suggest for your 2002 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is Curt # 13408. This is a no-drill bolt-on installation. When we installed a Class III hitch on your vehicle we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the rear of the spare tire was 6-1/4-inches. Once it is installed...

  • Corrosion Resistant 2 Inch Hitch Ball and Lock for Curt Aluminum Ball Mount With 2 Inch Drop
    There are a couple of really good options for a 2" hitch ball and hitch lock to resist corrosion with the 8,000 lb capacity Andersen Alumistinger Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 1" Rise, 2" Drop # AM3503. For a hitch ball you can't go wrong with stainless steel to resist corrosion so the best option is the stainless 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C. Then for a stainless steel hitch lock I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # C23519. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out...

  • Correct Torque to Install Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball SC23-C on Alumistinger Ball Mount AM3505
    To install the Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball # SC23-C on Fulton Ball Mount # F47CR you will use a suitable torque wrench (one like # ALL944001) to apply 250-ft-lbs of torque on the nut. I confirmed this with my contact at Brophy Machine Works.

  • What Hitch Ball Size For 2023 Lance 1475 Travel Trailer
    Hey Mike, The hitch ball size should match the trailer's coupler, and per Lance, your 2023 Lance 1475 travel trailer uses a 2" hitch ball. So you'll just want to match the diameter of the hitch ball's shank to that of your ball mount. For example, if your ball mount has a 1-1/4" diameter hitch ball hole you could use the 2" Hitch Ball # CB26C, or if it has a 1" diameter hole you could use the 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C. You could also use a ball mount that has a 2" ball already installed,...

The chrome ball # 63845 you currently have has a shank that measures 1 inch in diameter, a shank length of 2-1/8 inches, and a capacity of 7,500lbs. I recommend the stainless steel Brophy Hitch Ball # SC23-C to replace your chrome plated ball.

In order to then use this with a 1-1/4" diameter ball hole you would also need the Hitch Ball Bushing part # F-2.

This will give you a ball mount for use when towing your trailer, and a receiver above it which you can use for your bike rack. You can secure it to your Sienna's hitch with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 or Pin and Clip # PC3. For a hitch ball, depending on the size...
