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..

Stainless steel ball has a 1" diameter x 2-1/8" long shank with 14 threads per inch. Wrench flats ease installation. Polished stainless steel is attractive, provides superior strength, and resists rust and corrosion.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.
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 have purchased numerous items from Etrailer for several years and I have never had a negative issue. Quality products with quick delivery. I do not focus on shopping around for the lowest cost because I am a quality person. I will continue to purchase any and all trailer towing related parts from Etrailer.com.
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
I like the alum ball mounts that got from you guys the stainless 7.5 ball ,just cant beat it, and the receiver locks keeps all of the equipment safe and sound thank you so very much
michael - 12/01/2018Great product for salt water boaters.
All pieces - ball nut and lock washer are stainless steel. No more rust.
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.
So far so good, no more rusty balls!
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...
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.
LaVern H - 10/28/2018Best hitch ball to use on the Gulf Coas t.
Good quality and just what I was looking for. Arrived on time.
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.
Jeff M - 09/25/2018Another stainless 2" ball, these things don't rust like the chrome ones. Great products, super fast delivery with FREE shipping option. Excellent communication from order to delivery. These are the reasons that keep me coming back!
Good quality, I like that it is stainless. No issues.
Henry - 01/31/2020Perfect 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.
Still looks good after 1 year
The machining and finish of this hitch ball is beautiful!
Very good value for use in harsh environments of road salt etc Facilitating the ability to use light lubricant on ball vs heavy greasy mess required to keep steel balls from severe rusting.
I got tired of the rusted mass of ball mount and ball sticking out the back of my brand new cat and ordered an Aluminum ball mount and this stainless ball. The new combinatino looks much better and should not rust like the old one.
Everything is as advertised and etrailer did a great job of getting it to me.
Pretty standard ball, and ive always preferred the stainless steel over chrome. Threads came nice and clean, with no burrs hindering installation, and the markings on top are nice and deep, so I've got no worries they'll wear away any time soon.
Very good!
I purchased it because I've had problems with hitch balls rusting after a few years. I love the stainless steel, no rust.
