Question:

Does it matter which of the included hitch balls I use for capacity, or are they both rated to 22K?

Hey there Caleb! Both the 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch balls supplied with the # WS97WR (adjustable 8" drop) fall under the same 22,000-lb hitch rating. Just make sure the ball matches your trailer coupler size, and always go by the lowest-rated part of your setup truck, hitch, or trailer. It also has a pintle attachment (also 22k) that can easily be swapped on with a simple pull of a pin.

Do you have multiple trailers with different coupler sizes, or do you mainly stick with one?
