The Rapid Hitch Adjustable Ball Mount, part # AM3410 measures 3-3/8 inches from the back of the ball assembly to the closest pin hole and 4-3/8 inches to the furthers hole on the shank. This has a maximum rise of 6-1/2 inches and a maximum drop of 5-1/2 inches and has a towing capacity of 8,000 when using the 2 inch ball and 10,000 when using the 2-5/16 inch ball. I have attached a product review video you can check out.
We have a couple fixed ball mounts that may work for you. The first I recommend is part # 4285. This ball mount has a 3 inch rise or 4 inch drop and a towing weight capacity of 12,000 lbs. It measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the weld.
Another ball mount you may want to take a look at is part # 4284. This ball mount has a 1 inch rise or 2 inch drop and a towing weight capacity of 12,000 lbs. It measures 6-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the weld.
I have attached photos of these three ball mounts with the dimensions noted. I have also attached a helpful article that explains how to measure and make sure you get the correct ball mount for your towing needs.
