1-7/8" Hitch Ball for Weigh Safe Ball Mounts - Stainless Steel - 7,500 lbs

by: SilverGhost05/03/2022

So far so good. The ball has been great with one exception. It is constantly getting covered in a gray/black coating. I have to keep a rag in the truck to wipe it down before storing or changing a ball. I really like the ability to not only chose 1 7/8, 2 or 2 5/16 balls but also to adjust the height for each trailer. I use the weight measurement when loading snowmobiles or 4-wheelers on the trailer to make sure I get enough tongue weight. My Weigh Safe hitch does seem to underreport the weight by about 50 lbs.1293492

I bought this ball to round out the trifecta for the Weigh-Safe 2-Ball mount-2 1/2", 6" drop-7"rise 14.5K Hitch, so I can haul any trailer I may need to haul. It's the ball pictured in the mount. 456895

I havent used it yet, but I think itll be fine-based on the ruggedness of the 2 and 2 516 balls.

Purchased this 1 7/8" ball to go with my ball mount that came with 2" and 2 5/16" balls. Quality of this product and the ball mount is exceptional and I always recommend this product and etrailer to any asking my opinion of a good ball mount. 307642

Thanks for checking in. Shows superior customer service. I love this ballmount! I use it quite often with the 2-5/16 and the 2 balls. I also have an 1- 7/8 just in case LOL!. The scale truly is an aide in establishing an appropriate tongue weight. The only concern I have is that I feel the mount has loosened in the receiver. I remember the mount when new was fairly snug. Now I can lift the mount about 1/4 while it is in the receiver. I hope that will not be an issue as I move forward in years. Even with that, I still recommend this product, and etrailer.com to all who ask.

Easily mounted and exchanged when needed. No cursing over huge wrenches and frozen threads with this one.952114

Never needed or wished for another type in the last year.

Wanted to have the full set for my weight-safe hitch works out fine.1101447

I purchased this to mate with he 25-10 hitch. It rounds out the set that includes that 2 inch and 2 5/16 ball. The combo is a perfect fit for my stock Ram 3500 4x4 (man are these trucks tall). I have the 6.4 gas engine so the 14,000 capacity of the hitch (when paired with the large ball) matches perfectly with my truck's towing capacity. I still have to watch the hitch weight though as this hitch is way more capable than the 1400 lb tongue weight on my bumper. My weight gauge differs slightly in graduation and color (mine has no green color indications to indicate a safe range or red for overload. The gauge has black and white graduations). Its not an issue, just thought buyers should know. This is a manly set of gear. Im positive that this will be the last hitch I ever purchase.322373

This is a perfect match to the hitch. With all three balls there is nothing I cant tow. Excellent piece of gear!

I bought this ball to complete the set for the WS6-25 2 ball hitch so I will be able to pull any trailer that takes a 1 7/8 inch, 2 inch, or 2 5/16 ball. This ball appears to be the same high quality as the two that came with the hitch. Very happy with my purchase.539275

Ball shows only a small amount of wear in the form of scratches, none are deep. Still very happy with this purchase.

The 1 7/8" ball that fits the Weight Safe Ball Mount is a necessity if you ever pull a small, lightweight trailer. It should be standard with the ball mount kit. Why offer an incomplete kit? With that said, the ball is of substantial build and deserves 5 stars. I expect it will outlive me.505545

The optional 1-7/8 ball works as designed. I still think it should be included with the kit instead of being optional/additional cost.

I was told that the weight safe was to much money. I bought one of those that has 3 balls system that was heavy chuck of steel,and it didn't have the drop I needed. The weight safe works great it has the drop I needed. And I don't need a tractor to help me put it on my truck. It's worth every penny that I paid for it. And the two people that told me weight safe was to much money has bought them a weight safe.
And I also like the gage to see how much tough weight I have. Buy one you won't regret it.955670

I added this well made, quality Hitch Ball to complete my collection of Balls for my Weigh Safe Hitch system! The price point was right and customer service is outstanding also.

I drive a Wrangler with a low tongue weight limit. This WeighSafe hitch makes tongue weight easily readable. It's not cheap, but I like the use of non-corrosive materials and thick aluminum parts. The balls are solid stainless steel, not just chromed like cheaper hitches. I bought the optional 1-7/8 ball so I can travel with all three sizes. I have had many people ask "what's that gauge on your hitch", It's fun to answer that it's a live tongue weight measurement.773306

the 1 7/8 ball for my weigh safe hitch set works great. The weigh safe hitch set is very eay and very reliable!923023

10" drop/11" rise changeable ball hitch. Excellent, efficient, practical. Thats the "one word" I would use to describe this hitch. The barrel lock on both the adjustable hitch, as well as the optional locking hitch pin are solid and unclunky. The ball changes take seconds too. I have 3 different trailers with different tongue heights and ball sizes. Now I don't have to unmount one threaded ball for an other one. No more impact gun, or, the inconvenience of not having one available for ball changes. No more trailer tilt while towing either. This hitch makes towing a more convenient, enjoyable exercise. It's also a work of art. 5 stars all the way.223631

I wanted the Weigh Safe Ball Mount so I could stop guessing what the tongue weight was. Now I can tow with confidence that my trailer is properly loaded and balanced. The unit is obviously well-made and heavy-duty. My only complaint is that since there are so many "moving parts" (the receiver bar, the ball mount, and the ball) the whole assembly is loose. This causes a lot of movement and noise while towing. Nevertheless, the looseness doesn't seem to affect towing performance.739721

It's a great system and I love having the three most common ball sizes so I'm ready to tow just about anything. With a load-distribution hitch and a 2.5" receiver (and a reduced sleeve to 2"), I'm the friend everyone wants to have! You've made it easy to tow safely and with the confidence that the job will get done right!893781

I have not had chance to use this ball mount as most trailers I have pulled have been 2 inch.942322

So great being able quickly change ball size without having to carry around three separate receivers1065435

Each of the Weigh Safe stainless steel hitch balls are high quality. I ordered the 1 7/8" hitch ball to round out my towing ability when I purchased the Weigh Safe system. Although the original shipment had the wrong 1 7/8" hitch ball, etrailer corrected the error by sending me the correct ball.433611

Bought this to go with my WeighSafe drop hitch. It came with 2” and 2-5/16”, so I added this just in case....never know when you might need to tow a small trailer and need the small ball. Drops right in to the hitch head.862306

Impressive workmanship. Very heavy, solid unit. The components fit together perfectly, no slop - excellent machining. It will make switching between my camper, boat and trailer, and car trailer with the proper tongue weight easy and worry free. I can even hook up to friends equipment easily. I just like the peace of mind that comes with knowing a proper tongue weight is always in place. I bought the 1-7/8 inch ball just in case. I also bought the hitch lock and pin lock set so the unit doesn't get "misplaced". 501748

Great product, service, and fast shipping as always from etrailer. I got a jetski recently, and this is just what I needed for the trailer! Same high quality, machined, solid stainless steel as the 2" and 2 5/16" balls my weigh safe hitch came with. Would highly recommend. 325383

Looks well machined,just received it. Look forward to using it. But it will be a while. I have a motor home and tow a van and use the van to move the dolly. I have been using two hitches, and two different ball sizes. Now I can use just one. I also look forward to using it on my truck. Three trailers and three different tongue heights. 327471

I order this for my weigh safe trailer hitch. Now I have all three sizes so I can pulll all of the trailers I own and I only have to switch the ball out.398720
