The Reese # RE94FR only requires a ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank and the capacity to match the system. Although there are no specific balls from Reese, you can use the Curt # A-90 as a replacement for the 2-5/16" ball you have now. If you would prefer a stainless steel option you could use the # C69FR instead.
