| For those familiar with Brenderup horse trailers - do they typically need a 2" or 25/16" hitch ball? Thanks! |

![25](https://horsetrailerworld.com/forum/images/decorations/multiple/25.gif) Location: Nashville, TN | I can answer that....2" diameter ball. And the top of the ball needs to be 17-19" from the ground. 18" is ideal, mine is 17.75" and worked like a charm. Take care and happy trailering. Amy |

| Learn from my mistakes, too.. I needed a two inch ball to pick up my new trailer, but when I got there the hitch wasn't a side close type, it was a top close with a lip around the ball area. My drop hitch didn't have enough clearance between the ball and the back of the dropped part, and I had to go get another drop hitch and ball to haul my treasure home. Luckily it was a Saturday and I got the tire store to tighten down the ball so I could make the 70 mile drive home. Might want to take two hitches, two balls and go on a day places are open so that you can switch them if need be. Jbsny |

You should check the web site I think the ball height should be 19" from the ground to top of the ball. I believe I was told "that is with a fat man on the bumper" but check the web site. |

| I measured from the top of my hitch ball to the ground and it measured 16 inches. Does anyone know if this will be a problem? |

Their website specifies 17-19" from the ground to the top of the ball. But call or email them. They are very nice. |
