Question:
I have a 2016 FORD F350 with a 8" Fabtech lift. What size should I buy as far as a ball mount. I like the ones you sell that folds up. I need 2” and 2 5/16 ball.

When looking for a proper ball mount for towing you need to make sure it has the correct drop so that your trailer tows level. To choose the correct drop for your towing setup you need to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your receiver and then from the ground to the bottom of your trailer coupler (be sure to take measurements on level ground).
Since your hitch height will be greater you will need a ball mount with a drop. We do have the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10043B which I believe is what you were referring to and it has a 9" drop.
You will likely need something with more drop though so instead I recommend using the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-525 which uses stacked receivers that can give you 10" of drop. This comes with a 2" hitch ball rated for 12,000 lbs towing and a 2-5/16" hitch ball rated for 16,000 lbs towing.
Depending on how much weight you will be towing you may be interested in the Adjustable Stabilizer Bar Kit # 325-GH-0100 since the Gen-Y drops so much. This product helps to stabilize the receivers from the side-to-side motion that you will get while towing. The InfiniteRule Security Trailer Hitch Lock # 34061072-D can be ordered keyed alike to lock the various component and discourage theft of this system.
