I suggest using the Reese Titan Shank # RP54977 with the Reese Stait-Line # RP66130.

It provides up to 5-3/4 inches of drop or 8-1/4 inches of rise and fit your 2-1/2 inch receiver.

Also for a hitch ball you can use # C40030.

The Reese shank part #RP54977 fits quite a few Reese weight distribution systems but it does not fit any styles of WD system that use washers for head angle adjustment. So as long as yours does not use washers you'd be fine.
