Hey Martin, Gen-Y says the ball mount # GY27VR you were looking at is "Only recommended to be used with Gen-Y Hitch towing attachments."

While it does have the common 2" receiver opening and you probably COULD put a 2" ball mount from a different brand in there, such as the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC4. But as I said, it's not recommended. It also would add lots of ball mount length and leverage which would decrease your tongue weight similar to how a hitch extender already cuts it down to 50%.

What exactly are you trying to do? Get a ball mount that has a cushioning feature? If so, I'd check out the Gen-Y Voyager Torsion-Flex 1-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 7K Towing - 700-lb Tongue # GY32JJ. It's designed specifically for that and you know it'll be top notch quality and comfort since it's Gen-Y.

What I'm trying to do is use the "Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set - 3 Balls - 1" Shank - Stainless - 902B", with a type of ball mount that would give me the adjustability (up and down/ drop and rise). It has to have a 7,000 to 10,000 lb rating. My Lance trailer is around 5,000 loaded. I also have 4 other trailers, and the simplicity of changing out the balls makes the covert-a-ball perfect for me. In addition, the trailers have different heights, hence the drop and rise requirement. Thank You, Andrew

@MartinF Okay gotcha. We have the Adjustable Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 9" Rise to 10-1/4" Drop - 5,000 lbs # TK5007 and Convert-A-Ball Dual-Cushioned, Adjustable Ball Mount - 7" Rise to 9-1/2" Drop - 5,000 lbs # CAB-UM that you can add your own balls to. But they are rated at 5k max so that may not be enough for your lance trailer. For some more money, you can get a little bit higher quality setup like Shocker Impact Cushioned Adjustable Drawbar Mount for Farm Applications - 2" Shank - 12K # SHK28RR or Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 6" Drop - 7K # 325-GH-12005 which are both adjustable and shock absorbing.
