There are some 10,000 pound capacity balls with a 2 inch diameter but they are part of a Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable ball set. The most popular set is # 901B. It has a 1 inch diameter shank. You will also want to check the capacity of the truck if the ball will be mounted on the bumper. Unless otherwise noted in the owners manual or on the bumper, most bumpers are only rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. If you have a frame mounted hitch, the capacity will be higher and should be on a sticker on the hitch itself.
