What size ball receiver for the T@G

Have new TV on its way. I think my previous ball size 2". I have a 1 7/8 with a 2" drop. Doubt that will do on the T@G that is in storage. I had several but sold with previous trailers, and downsizing. Wife's new TV will be a new MAZDA C5. The MAZDA is in shop for a hood wrap. Hitch receiver installed. Any suggestions? I am pretty sure I'll need a 2" ball. Not sure about drop or lift if needed. Appreciate all

    2" ball. Ball height depends on the type of T@G. NuCamp recommends 16" for non-Boondock T@Gs and 21" for Boondocks. Slightly lower is better than higher.

    Thank you, that is what I thought. Needed some reassurance.

    I soaked the old setup with penetrating oil for a couple days. Removed the undersized ball. Found the setup I had been using with the 4Runner. I'll use that ball and flip the old 2"drop. I had tried years ago to take that 1 7/8 ball off and just could not get er done..Our former Avion required a 2 1/4 ball. So I had a collection here not long ago.
