2-7/8"?? I thought most were 2-5/16" or 3"Fair statement but around here, most everyone has a GN hitch ball in their pickup bed.... 2 7/8" balls are the thing here...

I don't think so, almost all I have ever seen are just a couple inches in front which makes perfect sense.Actually, a properly installed GN hitch will be CENTERED on the centerline of the rear axle, not in front of it.
That's what the parking brake is used for. It should be used every time a pickup with trailer is parked. Although more and more rare, a manual trans makes it obvious.With me, a lot. I like to park the GN at 90 degrees to the truck when loading. That eliminates the shock load on the trucks transmission (especially when in 'Park') because the parking sprag in most transmissions isn't all that strong anyway. I'd much rather 'tighten up' round bales on the GN with it at 90 degrees to the truck.

Not 2 5/16".
I can see where that would come in handy for some towers.Second point is that I see a fore-aft cushion type hitch is now available for GN users.
He has special balls....Not 2 5/16".
