Will this 2inch convert-a-ball work with both of my shanks? 3/4 and 1? Id like for it to fit either or.

To be able to use a hitch ball with drawbars that have both a 3/4 inch and 1 inch shank you would need to select a hitch ball that has a 3/4 inch shank and then use a Hitch Ball Bushing, # C21100, that will reduce the size of the hole in the drawbar that accepts a 1 inch shank to 3/4 inch.

You could use the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set, # 800B, along with the bushing in both drawbars and this would give you a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball and 2 inch hitch ball combination with 3,500 lbs capacity.

The capacities required of a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball require the shank to be larger than 3/4 inch so we do not offer a combination with a 3/4 inch shank and a 2-5/16 inch ball.
