## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the difference between the #40008 and the #40009?**
A: The difference is only in the packaging of the two items.  Their specifications, rating, etc. are identical otherwise.

**Q: What is the rise? I need for pintle hitch and most are too tall**
A: No it will not work for a pintle. I was trying to find a 2-5/16 ball for my pintle as well. Curt offer replacement pintle balls. It is shorter than a regular ball

**Q: I wonder what the safety factor is on tis 20,000lb ball. Is rated for 20,000 lbs but a safety factor 2x? so 40,000lbs would break it? Just curious**
A: Typical engineering is at least 2x, but what has to be considered is hard braking, or rough pavement, or hard bumps etc.  Trailer hitch itself is the normal weak/break point.  Never broken one of these balls or a ball mount, but have torn a hitch loose once, and have severely bent a hitch on a giant pothole.

**Q: What nut size socket fits this 2- 5/16", 1-1/4' x 2-3/4 shank?**
A: 1 7/8" Socket, also helps to have a large torque wrench to torque it properly.
