The Blue Ox Track Pro # BLU36FR requires a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank, so you can use something like the Draw-Tite # 19286, which is a 2-5/16" hitch ball with a 1-1/4" shank. The Track Pro # BLU36FR is designed for trailers with tongue weights between 200-lbs and 600-lbs and you want your tongue weight to fall somewhere in the middle of that range. I'm guessing once you load everything up you'll have a tongue weight of around 450-lbs so the Track Pro # BLU36FR will work well for your KZ Sportsmen Classic 181BH.
You've chosen the correct system and using the 2-5/16" ball mentioned above will get you out on the road!
