Yes, it will fit any ball that the threaded portion of the ball has a diameter no bigger than 3/4". Here is a 2" Ball that will work # EI2C-C.

The Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack Part # S64675 is rated at 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs tongue weight so as long as your tongue weight isn't greater than 350lbs you will not have any troubles hauling with the rack.

I recommend measuring your tongue weight to make sure your hauling safely. We use the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale here in the shop Item # e99044. Check my video on the scale to see how it works!
