The Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2600 referenced in your question includes two different sized hitch balls, with a towing capacity that's based on which ball you are using to connect with your trailer. With the included 2 inch ball, it has a towing weight capacity of 8,000 pounds and with the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball, it has a capacity of 10,000 pounds.
If you are using the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball to connect with your trailer, you will have no issue pulling its 9,000 pound loaded weight.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out. I do recommend adding the Fastway Trailer Hitch Lock Set # FA86-00-3660 to secure your investment and help deter theft.
