For a 2 inch ball to use in the ball mount part # 36053 you would want the part # 19258. For a 1-7/8 inch ball you would want the part # 19254. Both of these balls have shank diameters of 3/4 inches.

Length of the threaded portion of the shank isn't super important but the two I mentioned are confirmed fits and both have different lengths.
