Coupler Ball, 2" sw 3" Thread

The Coupler Ball, 2" sw 3" Thread is a 2-inch hitch ball with a 3-inch threaded shank, manufactured by Dutton-Lainson, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This hitch ball features the standard 2-inch ball diameter for the most common trailer coupler size, combined with a longer 3-inch threaded shank that provides the extra thread length needed for mounting through thicker ball mount platforms, reinforced tongue plates, and heavy-duty ball mount shanks. The standard hitch ball shank runs approximately 1 to 2 inches of thread — enough for standard ball mounts. The 3-inch thread on this ball accommodates the thicker steel found on heavy-duty mounts, stacked plates, and custom fabricated ball mount assemblies where a standard short shank doesn't have enough thread engagement to reach the nut on the underside.

Louisiana trailer owners who tow with heavy-duty ball mount setups — the thicker aftermarket mounts, the custom-welded tongue plates on commercial trailers, and the reinforced ball platforms on heavy-duty receiver hitches — need the extra shank length to get full nut engagement below the mount surface. A ball with insufficient thread engagement on a thick mount doesn't tighten properly — the nut only catches a few threads, the ball works loose under towing forces, and the coupler can separate from the ball during highway towing on Interstate 10, Highway 90, the Westbank Expressway, and the roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna. Full thread engagement means the nut seats firmly with multiple threads engaged past the nut face, creating the clamping force that holds the ball secure under the constant vibration and lateral forces of loaded towing. Dutton-Lainson is a recognized manufacturer of towing hardware, and this ball delivers the quality and dimensional accuracy that a safety-critical component demands. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank mounting a ball through a thick aftermarket ball mount, a trailer builder fabricating a custom tongue plate that needs the longer shank, Captain Chris equipping heavy-duty tow setups for fleet vehicles, or any operator whose ball mount requires the 3-inch thread for proper installation, this Dutton-Lainson ball provides the extra length.

At $25.00, this 2-inch hitch ball with 3-inch threaded shank provides the extra thread engagement that thick ball mounts require. The 2-inch ball fits the most common trailer coupler size. Measure your ball mount thickness to confirm the 3-inch shank provides adequate thread beyond the mount surface. Dutton-Lainson quality for a safety-critical towing component. Perfect for thick ball mounts, reinforced tongue plates, custom fabrications, and any mounting application requiring the longer shank throughout Southeast Louisiana.
