Video Transcript for Curt 2 Inch Hitch Ball Review
Today, we are going to be taking a look at the CURT trailer ball. So this trailer ball is a little special. What makes it special Is this right here. You can actually get two inches of rise, just by putting this ball on our ball mount. So our ball mount is a four-inch drop and a two-inch rise. But with this, we're actually kind of swapping it around.
We're going to have a two-inch drop and if we flipped it around, we'll have a four-inch rise. So that's kind of crazy how just one ball can completely change what your ball mounts gonna do for you. So if you liked the ball mount, or you just like, "It gets the job done, why do I need a new one I just need an extra inch or two." This is really going to shine for that. We also have some that are only going to be about an inch. So whatever tickles your fancy, just go ahead and grab whatever size is gonna be right for you.
This one is a two-inch rise, but it's also a two-inch ball. So just look on your coupler, make sure it's the same size. And then also take into consideration, that this thing has a capacity of 6,000 pounds. So with our ball mounts 7,500, and then the ball is 6,000. So the lower number of the two is going to be the max of what we can use with this setup.
So 6,000 pounds for this setup. You wanna make sure that you pair that up. And that's one of the things you need to kind of look for. Also, another thing you need to look for is the hole on your ball mount that you have or the ball mount that you're gonna get it needs to be an inch in diameter because the shank is an inch in diameter. We don't want it any bigger because there'll be so much play.
And then anything smaller, of course, is not really going to fit. So that's two things that you need to look for whenever you kind of pairing this up because this thing by itself isn't going to do anything. You need a ball. We have a lot of different options on our website, so just figure out what you need, figure out exactly what you want, and then etrailer's here to hook you up. There really isn't a whole lot when it comes to trailer balls, this was just super awesome. 'Cause, it has that extra rise there. Made of steel. And if you we're to maybe add something else to the setup, just grab some grease just to keep this ball nice and shiny for all the years of use that you're going to do with it. All in all, this is gonna be a great option for ya. And again, this was the CURT two-inch rise, two-inch trailer ball..

I had a stealth hitch on my previous car, and a custom trailer for the track. I bought a stealth hitch for my new car, but it sits lower. Etrsiler worked at me to combine a high rise snap in to my hitch and a two inch riser ball that brought it up to the previous car height
by: Stan M.08/25/2019
exactly as shown. video of the ball answered questions that I had. easy tightening. Some reviews stated that the ball didnt have cuts for tightening for two wrenches one to tighten the other to keep it from turning. I didnt have a problem one lock washer is chinsed down flat your good. Put it in your hitch for a quarter more turn and your good. with 2" drop this allowed it to become zero drop which was my goal . ordered from etrailer before and will if need in the future. live in cali so it took a few days but it was shipped out a couple hours after I ordered it. Now my bassboat trailer is level
by: Larry09/20/2022
Well, I needed a reciever hitch and 2" ball kinda quick. They had the perfect set up and quality product avaiable and sent it asap. Great service. You gotta try them!
by: Charles G.07/07/2019
Appears to be excellent quality. Installed easily and will raise the front of my trailer to level it without modifying my hitch

Is the perfect height to level my trailer. However did seem to start rusting in a short time

Worked well to give the needed extra height for my trailer dolly.
by: Ed R.07/26/2015
My popup trailer sits at about neutral to my Tacoma TRD. With a standard hitch it would sit too low/too high depending on orientation. This riser hitch ball is the perfect solution and now my popup is within 3/4" of level to my Tacoma. There are however two bad details about this ball: The design is poor because there is no wrench flat on the body to help tighten the nut. There is no other way than clamping in a vise to tighten the nut. Second, even with a rag, the substandard plating wore off when tightened in the vise. This exposed the copper substrate plating, which will corrode. I had to cover the exposed area with 2 part epoxy to prevent corrosion. I am a huge fan of e-trailer. This product fills my need, but the quality is below average.

I needed to raise my tongue height to make trailer tow level. This looks like it will do the job. Thanks. etrailer was quick and convenient, got the ball 2 days earlier than promised.

Just fine, thanks.
by: David04/22/2022
I haven’t used it. I bought it just-in-case and never needed it. I can say that I bought a standard chrome ball at the same time which lost its chrome and instantly rusted so I appreciate that this is matte rather than polished. I’m also glad this exists because it was the perfect solution to a problem I thought I might have had… I just ended up not having that problem. If you buy one, but from etrailer. No better site on the internet
by: Bill W.03/25/2016
Worked out perfectly. When my truck bed was loaded with heavy
material, could not get trailer tongue wheel completely staight
and locked. Just needed a bit more height, and far cheaper then a whole
new setup !
by: Rescuedogdad08/30/2020
Great quality, Excellent chrome plate over copper plate base on the steel. No problem as long as you can access the nut to tighten it. However, in my application the nut is captured in a recess, so you have to turn the ball to tighten it. There are no flats to wrench he ball. Strap wrench just slipped, leather over pipe wrench jaws got two turns before chrome polished the leather and slipped, triple wrap of duct tape got two more turns before tape ripped and adhesive slipped. Gave up and cranked pipe wrench. To cover scratched chrome masked off ball and around base and painted black to match hitch. Looks like it was made that way.

My second 2" rise hitch ball - did just what I needed - eased the tongue weight on my towing vehicles which have a low height relative to the type trailer I have - Thanx etrailer
by: Joseph 09/12/2020
Exactly what I needed for my 4 wheeler to keep the tongue of the trailer from being too low. The price was good and the delivery was quick. The only thing I had to do was to enlarge the hole to fit the one inch shank. Thanks etrailer for having what I needed.

Still working out great a year later. The trailer tongue does not hit the ground when I tow it with my four wheeler.
by: 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan01/24/2014
Haven't had a chance to use it yet however this saved me quite a bit of money. I needed a rise for my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan however I already had a ball mount from a previous vehicle. I flipped that ball mount and used this ball with a 2" rise and was able to get close enough to the hitch height I wanted with no issues.
by: oldranger11/20/2013
This product was the only way I could find to pull my trailer level. I wish there were 2" ball mounts made with just 1" or less drop. As is with this product the drop significantly reduces ground clearance compared to the level of the receiver.
by: JohnM11/14/2016
Solved the problem of getting the trailer level and being able to use the dolly wheel on the trailer. The shaft on the dolly wheel was too short and this extended ball took care of the problem. Great product....great solution.
by: Bob G01/21/2015
Great products, prices and service! Etrailer is hard to beat. Extremely fast turn around, my order was shipped the same day. The selection is very complete. I ordered some 2" hitch balls. Riser balls are hard to find in my area.
by: Tom03/24/2017
I am very excited about this tow ball with its extra height. My trailer now has much less weight on the tow ball which previously tended to lower the back end of my car. Etrailer had my order out the door within hours and the approximately [price] for shipping/handling was very reasonable given the weight of this tow ball. Highly recommended!
by: Chuck08/08/2016
Obtained the proper hitch height but you will need an impact wrench and a 1 1/2" socket to tighten the nut. There is no flat on the shank to place a wrench to stop the ball from spinning while tightening. You could use a pipe wrench but that would destroy the chrome finish.
by: Jeffrey04/25/2018
Works well to level my boat trailer. Pipe wrench required for mounting as there are no flats on the hitch.
by: Kevin F.08/17/2016
my 2"hitch ball with 2" riser came in about a week very good quality nice heavy chrome it looks great on my custom hitch
by: Garnett10/14/2017
Should have looked at more options before buying this type of Hitch Ball. Used it once...I don't trust the long shank...went with a different setup!
by: Chris06/28/2018
A simple solution to a sometimes tricky problem, the extra rise on the Curt hitch balls will enable you to zero in on getting the trailer level with minimal effort.
by: Bill L09/02/2017
EXACTLY what I needed! My Toyota Highlander hitch was too low, and I needed a two-inch rise to make it easier to hook with the boat trailer. Perfect! Happy with fast shipping, very reasonable price, and very high quality! What's not to like?
by: Clifford05/16/2018
Over and above service. When I ordered I screwed up and ordered two items that were incompatible. I promptly received a call wondering if it was for two seperate applications or to be used together. I was able to rectify the mistake and received the corrected order promptly. Thank you for such good customer service. and the products work wonderfully..Thanks again.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball
- How Tall is the Curt 2 Inch Rise Hitch Ball # C40034 from Top of the Ball to the Mounting SurfaceThe 2 inch Hitch Ball - 2 inch Rise - 1 inch Diameter x 2-1/8 inch Long Shank - 6,000 lbs, C40034, is 4-3/8 inches from the mounting surface that will contact the ball mount platform to the top of the hitch ball. This ball is designed to provide 2 inches of rise over the height of a standard hitch ball.
view full answer... - How To Tighten the Curt 2" High Rise Hitch Ball C40034 To 450 Ft. Lbs.There are torque wrenches available that can apply 450 ft. lbs of torque that is needed for the 2" High Rise Hitch Ball part # C40034. However, these torque wrenches can be very expensive and not easily attainable therefore we generally just recommend that you place some sort of large pry bar on your wrench/ratchet and then tighten as much as you can.
view full answer... - Not Leaving Marks On Hitch Ball When Tightening The NutI will be happy to explain the best way to not leave marks on the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # C40034. When I tighten the nut when using the hitch ball I use several layers of duct tape or a towel on the shaft portion of the ball when tightening it. That way it will leave as few marks as possible. Curt recommends the use of 250 ft/lbs of torque when tightening the nuts of their hitch balls with a 1 inch diameter shank. The general rule is for a 3/4" shank tighten to 150 ft/lbs For a 1" shank...
view full answer... - Installation and Torque of 1-1/4 Inch Shank Hitch Ball onto Ball MountThat foot pound rating for torqueing a hitch ball onto a ball mount requires a special torque wrench. A local mechanic should have something compatible. If you can't find anyone with the correct torque wrench as many max out at 250 lbs, then we recommend using a breaker bar and pipe extension to at least ensure the lock washer is completely compressed to flat before use. Installing the ball mount sideways in the receiver tube will allow the best hold (although without pin obviously)...
view full answer... - What is the Diameter of the High Rise Part of Curt 2 Inch Trailer Ball # C40034I went out to the warehouse and pulled Curt 2 inch ball # C40034. I measured the high rise part of the shank and it was 2 inches in diameter (1.9 inches to be exact) when measured with digital calipers.
view full answer... - Can Hitch Ball be Torqued On Ball Mount that is Installed in Vehicle HitchYes you can torque the nut of the Curt hitch ball part # C40034 to 250 ft lbs with the ball and ball mount installed in the vehicle's hitch.
view full answer... - Recommended Torque for Tightening Curt Hitch Balls to Ball MountCurt recommends the use of 250 ft/lbs of torque when tightening the nuts of their hitch balls with a 1 inch diameter shank like the part # C40034 that you referenced. The general rule is for a 3/4" shank tighten to 150 ft/lbs For a 1" shank tighten to 250 ft/lbs, and for a 1-1/4 inch shank 450 ft/lbs.
view full answer... - Ball Mount Options For a Trailer With Minimal Ground ClearanceThere are two ways to level your trailer. One is to use a ball with a rise on it such as Curt # C40034 that you referenced. This part will work as long as your ball mount has a 1 inch diameter ball hole and you need only 2 inches of rise. The other way is to get a ball mount with the required rise. The first step is to find out exactly how much height adjustment is actually required to level your trailer. With the vehicle and trailer uncoupled on level ground, measure the hitch height...
view full answer... - What Tool is Normally Used for Torqueing Down Hitch BallsThe amount of torque needed for the hitch ball you have installed on your Blue Ox weight distribution will be based on the hitch ball you have. Some require a great deal of torque like the Curt hitch balls like the # C40034 that require 450 ft lbs whereas some require less than that. We don't normally recommend impact wrenches but we do normally recommend longer torque wrenches. Since those can be expensive the best option might be to see if an auto parts store can loan you one.
view full answer... - Does Hitch Ball Height Factor in to Determining Rise/Drop Calculation for Picking Out Ball MountWhen determining rise you don't need to factor in the height of the hitch ball unless it's a high rise ball. The rise calculation is done by taking the measurement from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground and comparing it to the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when sitting level. In relation to the ball mount the dimension would be from the bottom of the ball mount platform to the top of the shank of the ball mount like in the picture I attached. An...

- Hitch Ball Recommendation that Has 2 inch Rise Built Into Shank and Has Over 7,500 lb CapacityWe have the hitch ball part # C40036 which has a 2 inch rise built into it and has a 10,000 lb capacity. This is a 2-5/16 inch diameter ball and has a shank diameter of 1-1/4 inch. This is our only option that matches the capacity and rise spec you need.
view full answer... - Is a High Rise Hitch Ball Needed To Tow With The Bumper On a 2015 Chevrolet ColoradoThat is a great question but I am afraid this is not something that we have been able to test our self that way we cannot confirm this for you and it would also be dependent on the height of your trailer coupler. However, if you feel the 2" of extra clearance is enough to help keep the coupler off the plastic rear fascia then we do have an option for you but this will be dependent on what size hole you have for the shank and what size hitch ball is needed. For example, the Hitch Ball part...

These hitch balls are available in all three ball sizes (1-7/8-inch, 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch) to match your trailer coupler and with two different shank diameters, 1-inch like # C40034 and 1-1/4-inch like # C40036, to match your ball mount. All are shown on the linked page. If...

They are all either 1 inch or 1-1/4 inch. But depending on how much total rise you need there may be a ball mount you can use that will get you close if not at the height you need. I have included a link below to our help article that shows how to measure to select a ball mount with the correct rise or drop. The Class I ball mount with the most rise is # C45028 with 5-3/8 inches rise. But it has...
view full answer... - What is Smallest Diameter Hitch Ball Shank Hi Rise Hitch BallThe smallest diameter shank we offer in the high rise hitch balls is 1 inch like with the part # C40034 which is a 2 inch ball with a 2 inch rise built into it. This has a 6,000 lb capacity. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ball mounts we carry with a 1 inch diameter ball hole.
view full answer... - Material of 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Ball With 1 Inch Shank and RiseThere are very few trailer hitch balls with a rise, and all of them are made of chrome-plated steel, including the 2" trailer hitch balls. Both 2" hitch balls have a 6,000 lb capacity and 1" diameter shank with the difference being the amount of rise; the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # C40033 has a 1" rise and the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # C40034 has a 2" rise. Most trailer hitch balls are made out of chrome-plated steel now and they are just as high-quality as their stainless steel brethren while...
view full answer... - Can Curt Hi Rise Hitch Ball C40034 be Used with Curt Ball Mount # C45338Since the Curt Hi Rise Hitch ball part # C40034 is designed for a 1 inch diameter hitch ball hole you'd need the hitch ball bushing part # 58184 to use it with the Curt ball mount # C45338 that you have.
view full answer... - Availability of a 2" Trailer Hitch Ball With a 3/4" Diameter Shank With a RiseThe Curt RockerBall Shock Absorbing 2" Hitch Ball # C94CR is going to be the only 2" diameter ball we carry with a 3/4" diameter shank which has any rise. The shock absorbing base adds 1-1/2" to the height of the hitch ball. If this will not work for you I can recommend a different ball mount with either a larger diameter hole to fit the 1" shank for the 2" Hitch Ball # C40034 you found. Or with a different rise/drop to use a standard hitch ball. I will need to know what size ball mount...
view full answer... - Do You Carry a 2" Hitch Ball With Rise Having a 1" Diameter and 3" Long Shank? We will only have a 2" ball with a 3" shank and no rise # C40020. Our 1" Rise # C40033 and 2" Rise # C40034 balls only have a 2-1/8" long shank.
view full answer... - Height of Curt 2 Hitch Ball # C40004I went out to our warehouse to take a look at the Curt 2" Hitch Ball # C40004 that you referenced and I measured a height of 2-3/4" from the mounting base to the top of the ball. I have attached an image to assist. If this doesn't provide the height you need we also have the 2" ball available with an additional 1" rise with part # C40033 or an additional 2" rise with # C40034. These rise measurements would be added to the 2-3/4" height mentioned above.

- Ball Mount With Most Rise for Curt Class II Trailer Hitch On 2007 Volvo S60The Class II ball mount we offer with the tallest rise is the Curt # C45028. This ball mount has a rise of 5-3/8 inches. This gives you a height of 18-3/8 inches, still short of your 22-3/4 inch coupler height. Even if you used a hitch ball similar to the Curt # C40034 with a 2 inch rise, you would still be a couple of inches shy of your coupler height. Ideally, you want to tow level to avoid sway and traction issues, but this is as close as you may be able to get to towing your boat trailer...

I went through all our replacement parts for Stealth Hitches, but this will be the highest rise they offer. That being said, I did find an option that will get you to the needed height. The Curt Hitch Ball # C40034 will actually raise the ball up 2 more inches. This would replace the ball that...
view full answer... - How to Get a Ball Mount with 0 inches of Rise or DropIn order to get a ball mount that has effectively 0 inches of rise or drop you would need to get a Trailer Hitch Ball Mount, part # D-4, like the one you referenced that has a 2 inch drop, and then use a 2 Inch High Rise Ball, part # C40034. I attached links to FAQ articles on ball mounts and hitch balls below for you to check out also.
