The two ball mounts included with the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit # 989900 referenced in your question have slightly different hitch pin to hitch ball measurements.

The ball mount with the 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop has a distance of 8-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. The ball mount with the 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop has a distance of 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball.

Either of these ball mounts will work great with the 2 inch hitch on your Nissan Pathfinder. You will just want to make sure that the rise or drop on the units are sufficient to tow your trailer(s) level. I have attached a great article that explains how to determine this if you are unsure.
