Ball For Drop Shank

Question

I've got the drop shank pictured below for my truck - maybe not as long. Where can I find a ball mount for it? Have looked at etrailer.com, and they only seem to sell the combo. Don't need a WDH setup. Planning to rent a UHaul trailer to haul some stuff.

This is only half right? I bought this from harbor freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/8-in-1-adjustable-ball-mount-hitch-95991.html which holds a standard 2" ball.

You need the other half that goes with that shank to make the complete hitch. There are two different halves for the shank you have. On one of them the ball attaches directly to it. The other one has a box for a drawbar to be inserted into it.

Check here if your shank is made by Curt.
