We do have a variety of straight tongue couplers that fit with a 2-5/16" hitch ball like what you're looking for.

We have standard couplers like the Demco # DM13203-95 as well as hydraulic actuator couplers like the Demco # DM8101801.

I'm attaching review videos of the couplers as well as a link to our selection of couplers that fit with a 2-5/16" hitch ball. If you can give me more details about what exactly you're needing I can make a specific recommendation for you.
