Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Brophy 2 5/16 hitch ball. A hitch ball is going to provide a connection point for your trailer's coupler. The unit features find threads; it's going to have 14 threads per inch. That's going to really provide a nice, tight, strong grip. The unit is a durable stainless steel construction that's highly resistant to rust and corrosion, and it's going to feature a nice polished finish to provide a sleek, attractive look. On the sides, you'll notice that it has a flat spot on each side. That's going to be the wrench flats that allow you to use a wrench to hold the ball in place during installation.
It also comes with your lock washer and the nut, so those are included. The ball diameter again is 2 5/16 of an inch, but we'll take a look at the shank dimensions if we take a measurement of the actual diameter first. This is going to give us a diameter of 1 inch. Shank length is 2 1/2 inches and the capacity on the unit is 8,000 pounds. The way this installs is you put it through the mounting surface, like a ball mount or draw bar hole. Lock washer goes on, followed by the nut, and then you just need to tighten it down according to the specifications listed by the manufacturers, and that's all going to be on the packaging or instructions that come with the unit.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Brophy 2 5/16 hitch ball with a 8,000 pound capacity.

Polished stainless steel is attractive, provides superior strength, and resists rust and corrosion.The products I received was what I expected, but the service during the purchase was not. Once I ordered the product, I received and email that the ball hitch was on back order from the mfg. I tried calling the number on the email and only got a voice, which was never returned. Also I email that person and never got a return email. Afer several weeks I called and talked to another sales rep., she took all the info. and was going to get back with me and never did. But several days after the phone call with her the parts were being shipped. You sales people need to keep the customer updated in some fashion...Again the products were great.....
it didn't rust. It didn't break.
I am submitting this review even though all of your customers MUST know you have one of the best, if not THE best, trailer company in the USA. You have the best products, the best selection for various applications, and no other company can beat your prices... I already purchased a lot of your products and believe me when I say I did extensive research on the exact same products before submitting my orders due to my limited funds. All of your staff are kind, courteous, patient (when it comes to helping a trailer-newbie, such as myself) understanding, very knowledgeable, and professional. Submitting an order is easy, and all of my various orders where shipped almost instantaneously and arrived on schedule. You are the best... and then, there are all the rest! Thank you for having such a great operation!
Got the ball as scheduled. A little disappointed. The Stainless Steel ball looks great, but they send a regular steel nut and lock washer. Not even galvanized. Being in a salt water environment this wouldn't take long to rust up. It's rated for 8,000 lb. and that's hard to find. Most are only rated at 6000 lbs.
This is one good looking hitch ball, almost hate to put a coupler on it. I needed the longer shaft, 2 1/2 " to fit a weight distribution system and this was the best 1" shaft I found. A bit pricey but the finer threads and quality construction added a larger max weight, 8000 lbs. Again great service from etrailer.
I have several trailers and run all the time. I was using balls that would rust, stick, and make a lot of noise. Switching to this SS ball was such a game changer. It will never rust, and trailers seem to slip on and off with ease. Highly recommend!
It’s round, holds the trailer behind me and doesn’t rust
As described. Very heavy construction fine threaded shank is nice and smooth. High quality product.
As always fast fast delivery, product was spot on.
Thanks etrailer.com
Was expecting the whole ball and nut would be stainless. Not the nut or washer! So it will still rust and be difficult to remove.
What can you say about a hitch ball except best price and received it in three days.

This ball performed has perfectly during the 5,000 miles or so since I put it on. The extra long shank is perfect for my set up.
