Hey Carlos. The etrailer Ball Mount Kit item # EBMK2416 has a 1-1/4" ball hole diameter for the shank and fits a 2" receiver. This kit includes both 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls. It also has a hitch pin and a carrying bag. The ball mount itself has a 16,000 lbs capacity and offers a 3" rise or 4" drop. The 2" hitch ball is limited to a 10,000 lbs capacity but the 2-5/16" ball will give you the full 16,000 lbs capacity.

The etrailer Ball Mount Kit item # EBMK2416 comes with everything you need to tow a trailer. Are you needing just a ball mount with a 1" ball hole diameter? If so check out the Curt item # C45230.

@Carlos Hey Carlos. The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount item # AMSC2 also has a 1" ball hole diameter like the Weigh-Safe item # WS56KR you mentioned. It's also going to be limited to 10,000 lbs. You can use the Hitch Ball Bushing - 1-1/4" to 1" - Zinc item # F-2 on the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount item # C45341. It has a 17,000 lbs capacity, a 4" drop, and fits a 2" hitch. The bushing will reduce the shank hole from 1-1/4" to 1" in diameter.
