The Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 63845, and the hitch ball # 19260 of the ball mount kit part # 989900 you have referenced needs to be torqued to 250 foot pounds.
The size of socket or wrench needed to tighten that would be a 1-1/2 inch and then for the diameter of the crowsfoot or wrench for holding the ball it would need to be 1-3/4 inch.
