You are correct, the hitch ball that came with your B&W Turnoverball hitch is going to have a specific ball that will act as a replacement because of the shorter base. The direct replacement for your Turnoverball hitch is going to be # BWGNXA2005 . The distance from center of locking pin hole to bottom of square base is 1-1/4" .
