Height depends on the receiver hitch **Q: ball marks on top says 2 am i missing something** A: It’s a 2 5/16” ball not a 2” **Q: Is this a metric thread?** A: It is not a metric thread. **Q: Whats the socket size for nut?** A: The nut on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank takes a wrench with a 1-7/8 inch socket. A hitch ball with a 1 inch shank will take a wrench with a 1-1/2 inch socket. So the best tool for this ball is a 1 1/2” box end wrench. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***E on 14 June 2025* Belle qualitΓ© ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***H on 1 December 2025* Curt is the standard of excellence.
