I contacted Curt on your behalf and they confirmed that to switch the ball only to 2-5/16" the Replacement Hitch Ball for Curt SecureLatch Pintle Hook - 2-5/16" Diameter # CU77FR will do the job.

To replace the entire unit, the Curt SecureLatch Pintle Hook and Mount with 2" Ball # CU4759FR can use the Curt Channel Mount Forged Pintle and Ball - 13,000 lbs # C45920 to switch over to 2-5/16".

Included is a video overview resource for more information.
