Hey William! All of the 2-5/16" couplers are going to fit a wider tongue. However, you can still use something like the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13203-95. All you have to do is add in some shims to install the larger coupler. I recommend having a certified welder put these on, make sure it completely fills the additional space.
What kind of trailer do you have?
