I have a solution for you, but Titan does not offer their Bolt-On Coupler for 2-5/16 Inch Ball # T4855300 in a 2 inch hitch ball design.

For a bolt-on trailer coupler with a trigger latch, designed for a 2 inch ball I recommend the Demco Trailer Coupler, Adjustable Channel Mount, # DM12688-95. This coupler will mount in a 3 inch channel, like # DM59601, and has a weight capacity of 12,500 pounds. This is the highest capacity adjustable mount coupler we offer for a 2 inch hitch ball.

There are no couplers available for 2 inch hitch ball that have a 21,000 pound weight capacity like the Titan # T4855300.

I have attached a link to all of the 2 inch ball couplers that we offer for you.
