Where can I find a 2inch ball with a 4inch shank? They dont seem to be common. This is needed to give a little lift to the trailer hitch. Just pulling a motorcycle trailer.

The closest 2 inch hitch ball we currently have available to what you are looking for is the Draw-Tite 2 Inch Hitch Ball # 19255. This hitch ball features a 3-3/8 inch long shank with a 3/4 inch diameter. It has a corrosion-resistant chrome finish and a weight capacity of 3,500 pounds.
We also have high-rise hitch balls, such as the 2 inch # C40033 from Curt. This 2 inch ball features a 2-1/8 inch long shank, however the high-rise design allows the hitch ball to sit an extra inch above the ball mount platform. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly what it looks like.
If you are needing a bit more rise to tow your trailer level, I recommend looking at a ball mount with the needed rise instead of an extended hitch ball. If you are just needing a 4 inch rise and you have a 2 inch hitch receiver, I recommend looking at the Curt Ball Mount # C45070. This sturdy steel ball mount has either a 4 inch rise or a 6 inch drop. It has a 1 inch ball hole diameter and a towing weight capacity of 6,000 pounds when used in the rise position.
I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of ball mounts along with an article that further explains how to measure for the rise or drop you need for your trailer.
