Today we are going to show you part number SR25733 from Softride. This is their steel
Tightening Ball Mount. This part number is for the 2-inch version. This is also available
in 4-inch and 6-inch versions, too. A few features of this ball mount are that it comes
complete with a wedge and tightening hitch pin to combine for safe and quiet towing.
It comes with a stainless steel hitch pin - which is really nice you do not have to
worry about corrosion. It comes with a 1-inch shank hole for 1-inch balls. It is rated for
Class IV applications with a 1,000-pound tongue weight and 10,000-pound towing weight. And
it actually tightens the ball mount in three directions: front to rear and also up left
to right or up and down. Next we will cover some of the features and details and show
you how it works. The ball mount comes with a tightening hitch
pin, which is this part right here. This is constructed of stainless steel, and it just
threads in right here. This bolt tightens up the ball mount against the hitch so it
pulls against the hitch, like so. And when the ball mount gets pushed inside of the hitch,
this wedge comes up and actually locks everything into position, so it does not move left to
right or up and down. Also this hitch pin controls movement from forward to rearward,
too, eliminating flop in the hitch that way, also. And then your lock here, which is constructed
of brass and stainless steel, goes on the other side. And this lock simply gets pushed
onto the pin. And it comes complete with a cap to keep the elements out of the lock itself.
Now I will actually go ahead and install this on a typical 2-inch receiver to give
you a better idea of how it works.
