I do have an option for you but all of our one piece zero rise ball mounts come with multiple hitch balls. There are option that only include two though, the Draw-Tite 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # 80796 for 2" and 2-5/16".

The only way to get a zero rise/drop ball mount is with a double ball mount like the part #80796 which comes with a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball. This would be a great fit though and gives you flexibility with future trailer coupler sizes too.…
