I do have some possible solutions for you but unfortunately the Flash Solid Steel HD Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA49-00-5925 does not have a 1-7/8" hitch ball attachment.

Instead you can use the BulletProof Hitches # HD2510 with the 2-Ball Platform # 358178ball, or the all-in-one B&W Tow and Stow # BW54FR.

I personally like the Tow and Stow the most since you have all 3 ball sizes that are very easy to swap out and you can store the ball platform on the backside when not in use. However, this option only has a max weight rating of 14.5K with the 2-5/16" ball while the other options are a bit higher so that may be a factor depending on your towing application.

I have attached some review videos of the various ball mounts so you can see them in action.
