Question:

Im looking for a draw bar that may not exist. I couldnt find one on your site. I have a 2inch receiver. Id like a bar with a 3inch and a 3/4inch shank hole. I cant find that anywhere. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I have two options for you to consider

The Curt ball mount # C45220 will have a 2-3/8 inch drop and ball hole diameter of 1-inch. It's the closest to the 3-inch drop you referenced but currently there isn't any with a 3-inch drop only. The gross towing weight of the Curt ball mount is 7,500 pounds and tongue weight is 750 pounds. You can use a hitch ball bushing # 320000 to reduce the diameter of the hitch ball hole from 1-inch to 3/4 inch. See the picture I included.

Another fixed ball I recommend is the Curt ball mount # C45154 as it will have a 3-1/2 inch drop. It's a Class-III hitch and has a gross towing weight of 7,500 pounds and tongue weight of 750 pounds.

The second option to consider is to go with an adjustable ball mount with a 3-inch drop. I recommend the B&W tow and stow 2-ball mount # BWTS10033B. It will have a 7,500 pound gross towing weight (2-inch ball) or a 10,000 pound gross towing weight (2-5/16 inch ball). You will still need the hitch ball bushing # C21100 to reduce the diameter of the hitch ball to 3/4 inches. You will take the bushing and put it inside the 1-inch ball hole to bridge the gap.

I added a few video reviews for you to look at too.
