The HitchGrip Carrying Tool # 303-HG-712 is only compatible with a 2-5/16 inch ball. Unfortunately there is not a 2 inch compatible option.
However, I do have a possible solution to utilize that HitchGrip Tool. If your weight distribution system uses a 1 inch shank hitch ball, then you would use the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set # 105TB to allow you to use this tool and have the proper hitch ball for your system. If your system need a 1-1/4 inch hitch ball shank you can use the hitch ball bushing # 58184 to make this work, but the hitch ball towing capacity is 10K.

I have a 2 inch ball like many that were asking questions about. I hope the developers of the hitch grip tool will develop one for the many of us that have a 2 inch ball. I don’t want to change ball systems. Thanks
