Question:
I like the hitch, but does it only come with the 2 5/16inch ball? I need a 2inch ball for my trailer.

Hey Edgardo! The Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch # WS59MR comes with a 2-5/16" ball by default. Although there isn't a version with the 2" ball, you can swap it out using the Replacement 2" Hitch Ball for Weigh Safe Ball Mounts # WS96KR. Just be aware that the ball will be the limiting factor of the hitch since it is rated for 10,000 lbs.
The True Tow is a great choice and will serve you well with the built-in scale and simple adjustment. This allows you to set it perfectly every time you're towing whether you're fully loaded or empty.
Where are you headed once you get the weight distribution hitch installed?

Robin, thanks for your time, but after carefully looking at the trailer coupler it requires a 2 5/16 ball after all. Sorry for the mistake.
