Expert Reply:
There is a 2-5/16" hitch ball that with a capacity of 13,000 or 14,000 lbs, though you do need to make sure the hitch ball will fit your ball mount. This means the ball needs to have a shank that has a diameter as well as length to properly secure to your ball mount. Additionally, keep in mind a hitch ball with a larger capacity will not mean you can tow more if your hitch and/or vehicle is not rated for 13,000 or 14,000 lbs.
The most common shank diameter is 1-1/4" and for that I recommend the Curt # C40030 which is for ball mount platforms 3/4" to 1" thick and has a shank with dimensions of 1-1/4" diameter x 2-5/8" long.
