Expert Reply:

I checked with B and W and the wrench size needed to tighten the nut of the B and W Hitch Ball part # BWHB94005 is 2-3/8 inch.

We have the Draw Tite hitch ball part # 19286 that is a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball that does not have any rise built into it. This does have a smaller diameter shank at 1-1/4 inch opposed to the 1-1/2 inch of the B and W. We don't have any hitch balls in the size you need that have no rise built into the ball that have a shank diameter of 1-1/2 inch.
