Bolt-On 1 ⅞" Hitch Ball

It's rated for 6,000 pounds towing capacity and 600 pounds tongue weight. Tow capacity is always limited by the lowest rated component in your setup, so also check your ball mount, hitch, and trailer coupler ratings, and never load beyond whichever figure is lowest across all of them.

It bolts onto any GEN-Y dual-ball mount, the same mounts included with GEN-Y drop hitches or sold separately as replacement parts. It gives you a 1 7/8 inch ball option alongside the 2 inch and 2 5/16 inch balls already on most GEN-Y dual-ball mounts.

It includes a 3/4 inch by 4 inch bolt for installation. Thread the bolt through the ball mount and torque it to GEN-Y's specified 200 foot-pounds using a torque wrench, rather than tightening by feel, since an under-torqued ball can loosen under towing load.

Yes. GEN-Y manufactures this ball in the United States from steel, finished in a zinc rich epoxy primer and durable powder coat. It weighs 4 pounds on its own. GEN-Y publishes USA Made compliance documentation on its site for buyers who want to confirm domestic manufacturing before ordering.

Yes, GEN-Y Hitch offers a custom powder coat color option through PrismaticPowders for an additional cost, with a 6 to 8 week lead time. GEN-Y Hitch currently can't offer Polar White as a custom color option.

Some trailer couplers, particularly smaller utility and specialty trailers, are sized for a 1 7/8 inch ball rather than the 2 inch or 2 5/16 inch balls that come standard on most GEN-Y dual-ball mounts. This bolt-on ball lets you add that size to an existing mount without replacing the whole mount.

Torque the mounting bolt to 200 foot-pounds using a torque wrench. Getting this torque spec right matters, an under-torqued ball can work loose under towing load, while over-torquing risks stressing the bolt or mount threads beyond their rating.
