Just some info on trailer balls in the 2 5/16 balls vally trailer hitches have balls that are rated from 6,000 lb to 30,000lb and the shank sizes go from 1 inch on 6,000lb to a shank of 1 1/4 on the 30,000lb ball. It is a very tragic thing that happened to this guy and am glad to hear he is ok. I know I changed my ball from a 10,000lb to the 30,000lb after I found out there was a higher rated ball just to be safe and the price was not much more and also installed chain with a rating of grade 80 for tow trucks .I would of thought the place that sold him the trailer and the new hitch would of gave him the right ball for the trailer but you never know .
