50MM Hot Forged and Machined Tow Ball

A Iong Shank Machined Tow Ball refers to a tow ball that has a longer shank compared to standard tow balls. The shank is the cylindrical portion of the tow ball that fits into the tow bar receiver or coupler.

The longer shank of a tow ball can be beneficial in certain towing scenarios. Here are a few reasons why someone might choose a long shank machined tow ball:

Increased Clearance: If you are towing a trailer with a higher ride height or have a tow bar that sits lower, a long shank tow ball can provide the necessary clearance between the tow bar and the trailer's coupling, reducing the risk of interference or dragging.

Tongue Weight Control: Tongue weight refers to the downward force exerted by the trailer on the tow vehicle's hitch. In some cases, a longer shank tow ball can help to better distribute the tongue weight, ensuring a more balanced towing setup.

Adapter Compatibility: Some trailer couplers or towing systems might require a long shank tow ball for proper alignment and secure attachment. These tow balls often have specific dimensions to fit certain adapters or couplers.

It's important to note that when selecting a long shank machined tow ball, it should be compatible with your specific tow bar receiver or coupler and meet the required weight capacity for your towing needs. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines and specifications to ensure a proper fit and safe towing experience.
