Can I Use a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for Towing with a Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver
Question:
Good afternoon. Will the hitch mount accommodate a 2-5/16 inch ball? Or, is there a separate hitch mount bar that will? Or, can I use my existing ball mount inserteded into the accompanying rack receiver?

The ball mount that comes with the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391CONVD5 will accommodate a 2-5/16" hitch ball that has up to a 1" diameter shank like what we see with the Curt Hitch Ball # C40007.
The Stealth Hitches kit only comes with a 2" hitch ball but you can definitely swap it out for a larger hitch ball like you asked about.
Be sure to only tow with the specialized ball mount from Stealth Hitches. When they did their testing they said the receiver attachment is only meant to be used for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers - not for towing.
