Out of curiosity I looked in our parts book.  They do list a 2 inch ball at 
10,000# rating and a few at 7000#, mostly 5000# or less. There are about 20 
different brands, shank lengths, etc.
Maybe that trailer manufacturer has a different source, or even something 
custom.
Now I'm even more curious, what do you pull (and control) an 18,000# BUMPER 
PULL load with??????
