Hey Pyper, assuming the Trailer Lift WDS you mention uses the standard 1 1/4" hole spacing, the Reese Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches # RP69FR would work great. This ball mount measures 12 1/2" long, has a 1.2K tongue weight capacity, and has 9 adjustment holes.
If you have something different, need something else, or this won't work for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
