Expert Reply:

The smallest diameter shank for a 2-5/16" hitch ball is a 1" shank like for the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40007.

Hitch balls with 3/4" diameter shanks are all either 2" or 1-7/8" hitch balls, so if you need to use a 2-5/16" hitch ball and your ball mount has a 3/4" diameter shank you'll need a new ball mount to go with the # C40007, like the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" Rise, 4" Drop. # C93KR.

That depends on the rise or drop you need, so I've added a link below to our entire selection of ball mounts that work with a 2-5/16" hitch ball with a 1" diameter shank.
