Video Transcript for Review of Curt Trailer Hitch Ball - 2 Inch Hitch Ball - 40083
Ellen: Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to be taking a quick look at the CURT two inch hitch ball. If you're needing to create a ball mount for yourself, and maybe you don't already have one, this allows you to attach a hitch ball to your ball mount or replace one that's maybe worn out or damaged. Let's take a closer look and make sure that this is the right fit for you.It is going to fit into a shank diameter that has a ball mount with an inch diameter hole since that's the diameter of our shank. It measures 2 1/8" long. That's going from beneath this part to the very end of the threads. We'll take the nut off.
The nut and washer are included with this, and you want to make sure to follow the torque specs to get that tightened down properly whenever you're putting it in place. So 2 1/8" long, an inch in diameter, the weight capacity for this is 6,000 pounds. Of course, you do want to go off of the lowest number between any component in your systems. That includes your hitch, the ball mount that you're putting this onto, and also your towing vehicle. Between all those things and anything in between you want to use the lowest number of any of them.This will fit most of your platforms between 3/8" to 1 1/4" thick.
It's made out of a stainless steel construction so you shouldn't have any worries about rust or corrosion, should be really nice and strong and durable. On the sides here you can see that there are flats built in to make it easier to hold onto whenever you are torquing that down. It does have nice, fine threads on the shank to give it a really tight, strong grip with the nut.That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the two inch hitch ball. Hope this has been helpful in deciding whether this is going to be the right part for you. We do have a lot of options available here at etrailer.com for all your towing needs.
So check them out. Thanks for watching.

Review from a similar Curt Hitch Ball in Trailer Hitch Ball
What to say about a hitch ball? It went on the mount easily and quickly. All parts and instructions were included, packaged well, and in perfect condition. Delivery was fast. Price was excellent and the customer services was even better! Thanks to Paula S. And etrailer for another great experience.

Review from a similar Curt Hitch Ball in Trailer Hitch Ball
Looks like a good quality tow ball. I'll never be able to tell you though. I cut the shank off to build my own trailer coupler lock for cheaper than a purpose built coupler lock. This ball plus the e98883 coupler pin lock makes my trailers secure in my yard as well as anywhere we go. Trailer can't be towed away if there is already a hitch ball locked in the coupler and there a only enough shank left to grab the ball but not enough left to hook it to a new hitch reciever. And by buying enough keyed-alike coupler pin locks, one key fits all trailers unlike previous setups I tried where each coupler lock had its own key.

Review from a similar Curt Hitch Ball in Trailer Hitch Ball
I know the finish won’t last but I was hoping I’d get a little longer out of it. It just seems like it aged very quickly and I even greased it to save it a bit although you’re not supposed to for general trailer safety. Still works though… don’t know what else you could ask. If you buy one, but from etrailer. No better site on the internet
Comments
We do recommend greasing the hitch ball to help disconnecting the coupler and to help protect rust. Use with the trailer coupler is going cause scratches which will eventually lead to rust. I recommend using grease part # 58117
White Grease Hitch Ball Lube
$10.52 with the ball.

Review from a similar Curt Hitch Ball in Trailer Hitch Ball
What can I say - it is a towing ball. I have a rather large landscape trailer and this is just the ball needed to pull it with some safety margin above the trailer's GVWR -- this is about the highest rated 2-in ball I have seen before jumping up to the 2 5/16" balls usually reserved for campers and other larger bumper pulls. The only negative I have seen on this is the torque rating, which is what it is.
450-ft-lbs -- you better have a [**] beefy torque wrench, be willing to buy one, or know someone who does. Given the cost of torque wrenches above 300 ft-lbs it would be a really nice option if etrailer would offer service where the ball can be delivered pre-torqued on the drop or raise shank of your choice.
Comments
I stand behind my initial review though point of clarification. I ordered the ball in 2019, posted a 1 year review in 2020. And now they are asking me for another 1 year update....well 2 years later it is still solid.

view full answer... - What Size Hitch Ball Does Forest River Flagstaff T21TBHW UseYour Forest River Flagstaff T21TBHW would use a 2 inch hitch ball like the # 40083.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount To Replace Curt C45901 With Missing PartsI reached out to my contact at Curt and while I have a complete replacement option for you, the ball mount section of the # C45901 is not available separately. Since there is no other ball mount option of the same style that will fit your shank, you will need to purchase another # C45901. In addition you will need a hitch ball with a 1" shank, the 1-7/8" # C40002, 2" # 40083, or 2-5/16" # C40005. I included a video of the # C45901 for you to take a look at.
