The Curt 2-5/16-Inch Hitch Ball with 2-Inch Rise # C40087 requires a ball mount with a ball platform that is at least 3/8-inches thick and that has a 1-1/4-inch ball hole. A ball mount that fits this requirement is the Curt # C45456 that fits into 2-1/2-inch hitches.

If you need a 2-5/16-inch hitch ball and the ability to raise the height of the hitch ball relative to the trailer coupler you can go about this in another way. You can get the height increase you need from an adjustable ball mount like # C45900 from Curt which fits 2-inch hitches and that includes both 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch balls, OR if you have a 2-1/2-inch hitch part # DTALBM6625 that also includes the same two ball sizes and that can adjust from 6-inches of drop up to 7-inches of rise.
