Question:
My truck is a 2023 Ford F-250 SD with a 6” wicked lift kit on it. What hitch should I use? I want to with a 2 and 2 5/16 ball. Also if available l would like to get the larger shaft so I don’t have to use a reducer in the hitch.

Sounds like your 2023 Ford F-350 has a 2-1/2" receiver. For this, I recommend the Flash Simple Heavy Duty 2-Ball Mount item # FA42-00-2925. This dual ball mount has up to a 10" drop so it will give you plenty of range to compensate for your 6". It includes both a 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball with 12,000 lbs and 18,000 lbs capacities. This fits a 2-1/2" receiver so there will be no need for a reducer.
I have linked a review video below so you can see the functions of this ball mount demonstrated.
To secure it to your truck and keep it from walking away, you'll want to use the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98881.
