Yes, you can use a 2-5/16-inch hitch ball # EQ91-00-6100 with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET that is rated for 6000-lbs. This system does not come with the ball so you can use the one above or a 2-inch ball # EQ91-00-6080.

Either way, Equal-i-zer recommends a thin-walled socket like # ALL643216 for installing the hitch ball.
