As long as you have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, I have an option for you.
The Curt Ball Mount # D-26 is 12-5/8 inches long and has a 7,500 lbs Gross Towing Weight (GTW) and 750 lbs Tongue Weight (TW). This ball mount also has a 3/4 inch Rise and the 2 inch Drop that you are looking for. This ball mount uses hitch balls with a shank diameter of 1 inch, like the Tow Read # 63847.
