To add a 2-5/16" and 2" hitch ball to a shank like the Curt # C45059 you mentioned you would need the Replacement 2" Receiver for Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount # C45802 and Replacement Tri-Ball for CURT Adjustable Ball Mount # C45800 which gives you a 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" hitch ball.

I included a video of the # C45802 for you to take a look at.
