Nilight Forged Trailer Hitch Mount 2-5/16" Ball for 2" Receiver — 4" Drop, 15,000 lb Capacity

Nilight's forged trailer hitch mount with a 2-5/16-inch ball is a heavy-duty 4" drop ball mount engineered to tow up to 15,000 lbs from a standard 2-inch receiver.

This forged ball mount is built for drivers who need a robust, corrosion-resistant towing solution without swapping receivers. It combines a 2" x 2" shank that fits industry-standard hitch receivers, a large 2-5/16" ball for heavy trailers, and a compact 8-1/2" overall length designed for clearance and stability. Surface treatments and a polished ball finish help the hitch resist rust and maintain appearance through regular use.

How strong is this Nilight hitch for heavy towing?

The Nilight forged ball mount is rated for a gross trailer weight up to 15,000 pounds and a tongue weight of 1,500 pounds, suitable for many campers, utility trailers, and equipment haulers. The forged construction concentrates metal where strength matters, reducing flex under load compared with stamped alternatives.

• 15,000 lb gross trailer weight capacity
• 1,500 lb tongue weight limit
• Forged steel body for high structural integrity

Will this fit my vehicle and trailer hardware?

Yes—this ball mount uses a 2" x 2" shank that matches the common industry-standard 2-inch receiver tube. It features a 5/8" pin hole and ships with a hitch pin and clip, so it installs into compatible receivers without extra parts. The included 2-5/16" ball fits trailers using that larger ball size for heavier couplers.

• Shank size: 2" x 2" to fit standard receivers
• Pin hole: 5/8" with pin and clip included
• Ball diameter: 2-5/16" for heavy-duty couplers

How does the finish protect the hitch in outdoor conditions?

The Nilight mount uses a two-stage finish: an e-coat pre-coating followed by a textured black powder coat that helps prevent corrosion and chips. The trailer ball itself is polished and chrome-plated, offering additional rust resistance where metal-on-metal contact is most common. Together these finishes extend service life and reduce maintenance needs.

• E-coat base layer for uniform corrosion protection
• Textured black powder coat resists chips and abrasion
• Polished chrome ball resists rust at the coupling point

How easy is installation and everyday use?

Installation is straightforward: slide the 2" shank into your receiver, line up the 5/8" hole, and secure with the provided pin and clip. The 4" drop positions the ball for common trailer heights and the 8-1/2" overall length keeps the ball clear of bumpers and accessories. Regular users will appreciate the simple fit-and-lock design and low maintenance finish.

• Insert shank into 2" receiver and align pin hole
• Secure with included 5/8" pin and clip
• 4" drop accommodates many trailer tongue heights

Who is this for: The Nilight forged trailer hitch mount is aimed at truck and SUV owners who tow heavy loads—campers, equipment trailers, multiple-ATV haulers—and need a durable, low-maintenance ball mount that fits a standard 2" receiver. If you require a high-capacity, corrosion-resistant hitch with easy installation and a larger 2-5/16" ball for heavy couplers, this mount delivers a practical, long-lasting solution without specialty adapters.
